Fitting McGard Black Edition wheel nuts


Recommended Posts

For a while I've wanted to swap my OE chrome wheel nuts to something better as they are starting to look tired. After seeing the write ups about alloy nuts sheering off I knew I wanted quality. The only ones to go for are McGard - obviously IMO.

 

When I went to the International Autosports show at the NEC earlier this year I came across the McGard stand, where I soon asked about their wheel nuts for my Subaru STi 330s which I wanted in Black.

 

A deal was hammered out for a FULL set (inc wheel locking nut) of the Black Edition that were subaru fitment.

 

Today I've had chance to fit them.

 

So here you go with an idiots guide to swapping your OE ones for the new Black Edition's.

Start with removing the OE locking nut

to be on the safe side use some lube/oil so you can get them off either next time round :)

Don't forget to Torque them up to just a shade under 100Nm
