Lucky for me it's not a breakdown situation.

Metric fine mate are most the bolts etc.
I would have though wheel nuts would be imperial though.

Sure they are 1.25 pitch I think. Might have one here with it stamped in, I'll have a look

Yes they are. The diameter is odd on the car they fit okay but the 12 mm I looked at today did not screw on properly at all. When fully on the lug nut "wobbled" enough to say they weren't a match. No other thread would fit the nut on at all.

You have to buy correct wheel nut as the pitch is not standard metric, most auto stores have a selection of the correct ones .

Pearcey, I'm after the 6 studs to put in the swing away for the spare. If I can get Nissan ones they can be spares for the Ute. Will call our Nissan spares and get the right ones.

Macca front and rear studs are different in the length of the nerl IE the bit that goes through the hub.
If you get 3 of each you have spares for the front and rear , even if you snap 6 off on a hub 3 will get you out of trouble.
