i'm fitting a set of 10" weller wheels to my mini what nuts should i be using?
at the moment i have a set of 7x13" ultralight's fitted will the nuts from them be ok to use as i'm not sure if they have a different seat angle to standard nuts:?:

Unless you changed the wheel studs you shoudn't have a problem....

Wellers use ordinary steel wheel nuts,not sure about the Superlights.I thought they used sleeve nuts.

remove a wheel and measure the stud lenght and someone maybe able to say if they were ever changed.... the 7*13's usualy require longer studs that may be too long for the wellers.... them nuts you have are the 60 degree seat ones so should work as wellers use standard nuts
another thing to consider is will they fit over your brake assembly??

I test fitted them last night they seem to fit ok with them nuts.
The brakes I have now only just fit under the 13's but I have another set to fit under the 10's

is there not an issue with the chamfer (cut angle) on the seating of the wheel-nut? was it not the case that steel wheels (inc wellers?) use a curved seating and alloys (using a steel insert) are at a fixed angle? as opposed to the fully sleeved nuts as in some alloys?
curious here as ive a set of Wellies someplace.
