Does anyone know if the wheelnuts from an FTO would be okay on my V6 Sport? I've tried one from my wife's car and it seemed to fit okay on mine (they're the same thread and the nut fits my wrench) but when I spoke to the dealer they said that there was more to it than whether the thread was the same - something to do with the bevel fitting correctly (the sloping end where it touches the alloy).
What are the consequences of getting this wrong?
Any ideas guys?
The ones I have on there were supplied by the local tyre place after mine rusted badly and they didn't seem to check if the bevelled end was the same. Maybe this is the cause of the vibration?? Something that balancing the wheels on the car would have found had the garage agreed to do it.
