What size do I need?

There are many different sizes available so it’s best to check your vehicle before purchasing. The best way to confirm the size required is to check the nut size with a spanner, or in the case of alloy wheels, a wheel nut socket. There may be a socket with the vehicles spare wheel that you can either measure or check if the size is etched on the wrench.

If you have a measuring device such as a Vernier, you may be able to measure the nut across the flats of the nut.
