Question McGard locking wheel nuts for Classic???

Hi

Can anyone tell me if the following spec. would be the correct McGard locking wheel nuts for the Classics (specifically, my car is a MY93 WRX, GC8A48D)...

'24154S' - M12 x 1.25

...I know that McGard also do 'Tuner' versions for narrow bolt holes on modern-day alloys. I'm going to purchase some brand new 17s soon... Would I require this narrow 'Tuner' style nut, or will normal suffice?...

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thank you

John

Depends on the type of wheels you're going to get and what diameter the holes are.

Subaru dealers will do you a set of McGards as standard now.

Normal part no 24152 and 25254 for slim 'tuner' version

Tuner versions will probably fit 99% of all wheels due to their smaller diameter.
I think you can get them from Halfrauds, they're Thatchem approved and one of the best you can get.

Hi mate. I had the gun-metal 17" Inovite Tarmac 10-spokes (original P1 wheel) fitted to my previous FTO and the 'Tuner' style nuts were indeed the ones to use for that wheel's stud holes. The product codes are:

M12 x 1.25 (SILVER)... '25254'
M12 x 1.25 (BLACK).... '25354'


Try eBay first - you might find them on there at a slightly reduced price, but bank on spending between £25-£35, regardless...
