Wheel studs too long on new wheel spacers

I had these wheel spacers bought for me as a gift earlier this year:

www.jimnybits.co.uk/shop/wheel-spacers/s...pacers/prod_292.html

Decided to have a go & fit them, but the original wheel nuts + locking nut don't fit! They are of the capped type and the studs seem to be a bit long.

I want to keep using a locking wheel nut so is there anywhere that does them or do I have to resort to using open wheel nuts all round?

Cheers

just go open nuts , locking wheel nuts simply dont work on our wheels ,all you need is a good pair of molegrips and anyone can remove them

thanks for that. may have to if its the case that the locking nuts are not that secure!

I just cut the very top of the locking wheel nut off so that the wheel stud thread sticks through...

(Just the little smaller diameter cap bit - picture later)

Here you go -



(Covered in Peak District dirt, sorry :whistle: ... But you get the idea!)

Orange circled one is a Grayston Wheel Locking Nut with just the head cutoff with a slitting disk in an angle grinder (or hacksaw) - As Reaper says, they are a deterent, I've had mine off before now when I've misplaced the "key"... And you can get locking wheel nut removal tools from the likes of MachineMart (and Difflock), etc anyways ... :huh:

Yellow circled one is a Grayston domed nut, which has sufficient depth (for the wheel spacers I have fitted).
