Hi all, just bought a set of 8x18", as above, with 225/40/18s, really pleased with them but have an issue with the wheel nuts. There weren't any supplied with the wheels (second hand) and the existing wheel nuts of our 06 Hawkeye WRX with standard 17" alloys dont fit the smaller holes on the Monoblocks. Is this a simple trip to halfords or a specialist trip? The stud hole on the Monoblocks are really tight!! It looks like the nut figment will be really tight never mind fitting locking nuts!! Anyone else had similar issues?
Any help or advice is much appreciated, thanks in advance
Cheers
Gareth

Anyone correct me if im wrong, but I'm thinking that you'll need 'tuner' wheel nuts. If you type it into eBay you should get the idea. They're a slim nut that comes with an adaptor that let's you tighten them inside the nut instead of putting a socket over them like a normal wheel nut. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info fellas, would any designed to fit any "Subaru" fit an 06 Hawkeye?
eBay seems to just cater for the manufacturer and not individual vehicles
Thanks again

I noticed the threads are attached to the hub, so they will be nuts and not bolts I'm after right?
