JohnNK Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Newbie wheel question. I am looking at some 14" Peugeot 505 wheels for my 80 Brat. Do I need special lugs? If so, where would I secure a set? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SakoTGrimes Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 If they're the alloys, yes. Look for them here in the classifieds. If they're steel no special nuts are needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnNK Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 Thanks for the advice; they are alloys so I guess I'll need the special lugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachineAgeVictim Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I always wondered what was special about the alloy lugs? bigger seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSSLGECKO Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Just get the ball seat adaptor offered online (cheap) and use your original lugs. It works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SakoTGrimes Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I always wondered what was special about the alloy lugs? bigger seats? I think the lug holes on alloys are bigger and reverse cone shaped, so a flat nut would damage the edges. I think. Your wagon is alloy'd right?

MachineAgeVictim Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 yeah I got the lugs with them, the seat is also seporate from the nut, it rotates (or doesn't rotate as you turn the nut) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
