Wheel nuts - Page 2

What you need to know is the thread pattern then go on eBay and buy some of that thread pattern.

There are plenty of stockists that sell aftermarket wheel nuts on eBay. Just get a good quality nut.

I cant remember what the pattern is of 240's but its imperial.

I'd suggest getting some new ones from Volvo or any of the many aftermarket suppliers. 240 wheel nuts are 1/2" UNF with a 60 degree seat.

Is this what I need? I never imagined changing from Steel wheels was going to be this annoying.

Sounds about right. Have a look on eBay for some new wheel nuts (youll need 20 remember) and just buy a full set. Or if you have a motor factors near you, they might even stock the nuts you need.

Shouldnt cost you more than £30 for a set of decent wheel nuts in the correct thread.

Can anybody confirm that in this Volvo parts screenshot that part 21 is the correct wheel nut for Virgos, I assume they are. Cheers

Antz · Jan 24th, 2014, 22:22

Looks like the one. Virgo nuts are rather long and chrome.

coaster22 · Jan 25th, 2014, 18:39
