Spline lug tool

So my new wheels arrived and came with spline lugs but no spline lug tool. Does anyone have one I can borrow to swap them over and get them into the car?

You can pick one up at mag and turbo for $25 or so, Im sure other tyre shops would sell them aswell, just gotta bring a nut in for the pattern

If you aren't having luck finding one, alot of people call them Tuner nuts/lugs

And if you are really struggling post up a pic in case it's different but you are welcome to come to Pakuranga and borrow mine

Managed to grab the last one in their shop that fit

So much to install, so little motivation

Anyhow, change in topic but doing under the same job I guess... Put the first new wheel on with the spacer (needed to clear the 4pots at the front) while removing the front fender to put in the frog arm, how will I know if I need to roll a guard or not? the wheel pokes out slightly?

I guess I'll take a photo when I'm all done and put it up when my internet stops playing up

Invite all the Auckland members over 1 weekend and get it all fitted

Depends. What wheel specs, tyre size and spacer size are you running?

RPF1 +41mm offset, 15x7 and a 15mm spacer, maybe should've opted for the 25mm but I do like subtlety. The tyre pokes out a tad...

I assume you are running 195/50's? If so they may need a slight roll depending how low you go and the amount of camber you run

1.5 degrees and not planning too low due to bottoming out on my bracing.Guess we'll see when I eventually finish... I'll get there one day
