Help guys :/

Have some Rota Fighter wheels, and bought some extended wheel nuts with the (fatter)? bottom that don't fit oem wheels. It seems they wont fit mine either :/ The bottom to them wont fit in the existing wheels, there are wider sockets? in the wheels that fit the lugs perfectly however they don't line up with the wheel studs.

Sorry if this is a noob question i searched but couldnt fit anything :/

Is there and adapter i can find or something or isit a case of new wheels?

Thanks for your help!
 
Sorry for the confusing post lol, im at work at the moment but il attach a pic from google to explain better.


The red arrow shows where the original smaller wheel nuts sit, however the ones i have bought have the fatter end which wont fit in the wheel.

The blue arrow shows where they will sit, they sit perfectly in there. However my wheel studs don't line up properly.

Hope this clears up my issue :/

Thanks!

I guess you need some slimline/tuner wheel nuts if you mean you can't get the nut far enough in to actually get seated properly.

That's what im thinking :( Really like the long wheel nuts though, and they do seat well in the wheels its just they won't line up with the wheel studs.

Im guessing il just either have to buy new wheels or just stick to using the thin wheel nuts :(
 
Guess its the same sort of issue my mate has with his Sparco's. Don't think you can get extended ones without the fat end :( or I haven't seen any!
