Hello Leo,

 

Welcome to the Forum.

 

These are suitable, but can be tricky to fit as the flat washer is not captive (as it is on the OEM).

 

McGard 21156SU

M12 x 1,5, flat seat, Overall length 15/35 mm, Hex size 21mm, Key diameter 27,7 mm.

 

There are cheaper brands available.

 

 

 

 

Rojie hi - thanks for speedy reply. Will try those

Update- got the locking wheel nuts suggested. Perfect fit - many thanks again

Hi Rojie are these likely to be also suitable for gen 2?

 

I've seen many Toyota OEM locking nuts on eBay but not sure if the sizes will be right? Need to look into the details. I would normally give oem preference unless know the aftermarket are higher spec

I don't know. It may depend on the wheels you have fitted, especially if not OEM

You need to check what seating the nuts have, flat or conical. Important.

 

Bolt size and thread should be easy to find.

Do you have a JPNZ Owners Handbook for your Gen 2 ?

Mine were conical.

Cheers Roj, no not yet the manual will arrive little later, trying to sort one car 

 

Thanks for the tip on nut seating. My alloy are expected to be not oem so I'll hold tight
