411 wheel nut size

[sjp63]

I wanted to know because I have a set of wolfrace Britannia/Beaufighter alloys that I want to fit to my 411 and need some nuts. There are various nut suppliers on the web with sleeved nut designs and tapers and some sell "wolfrace sleeved nuts"

I just need the thread size and other dimensions to see if they have the correct ones.

BTW I measured the wheel holes and I get 17.2mm dia hole and approx 6mm sleeved depth before the taper starts.

Other than that a part number or a second hand set would do!

Also tyres......

411 = 205/70/15

Britannia etc = 215/70/15

Using a tyre calculator the 215's are noticeably larger diameter

215/65/15 gets me back to the same diameter as the original 205/70/15

Any comments on this??

the standard alloy wheel nuts for 411 are 17mm in diam

they are appoximately14 mm from bottom of tapper deep

the tapper is 30 degrees

the thread is 9/16 bsf

what messurement exactly is the 6 mm

[sjp63]

Its not a 411 alloy its a Britannia wolfrace alloy on a 411. The 6 mm is the depth or thickness of parallel section the wheel stud hole. Put another way if the alloy wheel nut sleeve was longer than approx 6mm it would bottom out against the hub before the taper gripped the wheel.

Not sure what you mean about the but being 17mm - if you mean the sleeve diameter that would make sense.

Try this out: http://www.tyresave.co.uk/tyresize.html

The difference either way is not equal diameter although 65 aspect
ratio gives just over 1% less over the 70 which gives 2+% greater
diameter over the 205/70/15 combo.

Thanks - but I know that. Just wondering if anyone is running a 411 on 215/65/15 and if they are happy with the set up

[peter dowdle]

as mentioned earlier kevins wheel nuts are shorter the ones i copied from
411 mk 5 are longer

it would therefore appear that his would be ideal provided the angle of the
tapper is correct

clealy the 17 mm is common to your wheels and 411 wheels

Peter, I don't think we can say that for sure until I can actually measure mine. I wouldn't make that assumption based on a photo. There's no guarantee that the nut in my photo is properly home in the washer, in fact it is unlikely that it is.

Or maybe it's the washers that are different?

In the mean time, maybe someone else with Avon wheels can whip a nut off and measure nut and washer - maybe even make some drawings
