Hi All
Just had some tyres fitted to my MGF wheels and asked if he had any nuts too , he suggested ford nuts.
Does anyone know if Ford Alloy wheel nuts are suitable for MGF wheels
as they seem to be a lot cheaper second hand.

Its hard not to be big headed driving it

If it's the right thread & the right shape then it's the right nut. I had always thought that wheel nuts where more specific to the wheel rather than the car brand.

Just make sure you have enough thread holding the wheel on & that the nuts hold the wheel against the hub correctly. The MGF wheels I use that requires a shanked nut otherwise the depth of the thread used is less than the diameter of the stud which I'm told is the minimum rule.

Hey Peter.... your new garage looks great!!

"If it's the right thread & the right shape then it's the right nut."

Sound advice. The PCD of our hubs are shared only with MG /Austin Rover products such as the MGF and Maestro / Montego so the threads may well be unique as well. Which style of MGF wheels have you got?http://www.mgf.ultimatemg.com/group2/suspension/wheel_options_for_the_mgf.htm

Someone here may well have the same wheels fitted on to their 7 and tell you which nuts worked for them.
