VDP 15” wheels

[islaboo]

I have sourced a set of 15” alloys and now need the appropriate wheel nuts. Does anyone have the specific details of the sizes?
length, outside diameter, do they have a washer fitted?
thanks in anticipation

Hi, You can either change the studs for SD1 or Ford metric studs and fit SD1 nut or contact mistertee for appropriate nuts with imperial threads.

VDP wheels are 14". VDP EFi wheels are 15".

I got some 5001T(?) nuts in 7/16 UNF (supposedly for a Lexus!) from USA, and 25% were useless because the threads were not concentric with the shanks- supplier is sending replacements. These were supposed to have 0.73" shanks, but were only that size where they had been knurled to retain the washers. The rest was 0.715" . I turned the shanks down to 0.695" and thats a good fit in the 14" S2 SD1 wheels. The shanks are a bit longer than SD1, but wont bottom.

I spotted an ad for the correct nuts that in theory will fit series 1&11 of the 14” SD1 types, and also the 15” off the VDP.
The seller is in London, and the description sounds like he knows his stuff.
I will dig it out and post it here.

i noted they were around £60 for a set of 20.

i also noted the nuts were 7/16” UNF and 0.48” long.

hope this helps
