16" Sawtooth Wheels: do they need spacial wheel nuts?
Thinking of upgrading to 16" Sawtooth Wheels for my 2.4 Puma and read a post that some 18" Sawtooths needed special wheel nuts.

Do the 16" ones need spacial wheel nuts or can I uses my standard LR nuts I use on Boost and Zu wheels?

If yes, is that why I see them advertised "with centre caps and wheel nuts" as a package?

It's probably because if you are replacing steel wheels, you'll need the alloy wheel nuts. Wheel nuts for steel wheels are different.

Yes I know about the difference between steel and alloy wheel nuts; its the Sawtooth question I am interested in.

Thanks, Don.

Believe it was the 18" Sawtooths that had the issue but only with the locking variety.

I understood your question, but you asked why they sold alloy wheels with nuts, and I guessed it may because if a purchaser was going from steel wheels they would also need new nuts (Smile) getting new wheels and no nuts would be like buyng a toy with batteries not included... Razz
