Any wheel nut experts out there. was created by JodieMarie22
Hi, I am building a set of winter wheels and tyres for my Jimny. It’s an SZ5 with alloy wheels but my winter wheels are refurbed standard 2012 Jimny steel wheels.
Martin has already told me that the wheel nuts for steel and alloy Jimny wheels are different but when I search online for them I can only find 60 degree taper wheel nuts for sale that are advertised as suitable for both steel and alloy wheels.
Does anyone know if the OE Jimny nuts for steel wheels have a 60 degree taper or radius on the mating surface?
A picture of the nut would be greatly appreciated. If it is a taper my current nuts may suffice.
Also if anyone has some OE nuts for steel wheels they no longer need and could benefit from some beer money, I would be interested in purchasing instead of risking buying some Chinese junk.
Vmt for any help

I've compared original nuts to those from the interwebs and cannot find a difference in the taper.

60° Taper on both as said but the shoulder is broader on the alloy wheel version.
In theory you can use the alloy version on a steel wheel but not the other way round.

To anyone interested I am trying to do a permanent fix on the tpms problem by purchasing a programmable set of sensors and cloning the I’d numbers of the originals in the alloy wheels. Not going well so far but I live in hope and will post results if it is a success.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI use this cigarette packet sized emulator, works a treat.

As I have suggested before, be careful with the tpms bypassing. If you have a collision and it is judged to be as a consequence of a deflating type that the system would have warned you of, your insurance will probably try to weedle their way out of liability. Just be careful.

No, I’m not bypassing the system. I am fitting sensors in my winter wheels but trying to program them with the same unique codes that the original sensors have. This means the system will remain fully operational with both sets of wheels and no need to visit the main dealer.
Emulator and loss of the tpms feature = £50
4 programmable sensors and fully working system =£80 + £40 for a re-useable program pad.
Sounds simple but in practice it’s proving a bit troublesome.
