Thread: Multi Fit Wheels

hey everyone
i have a set of multi fit wheels and i was just womdering do you need a a special type of wheel nut on there. i am a bit hesitant with them because at high speed they seem to be a bit weird and i dont like to do 100 because im afraid the nuts will come loose and the wheel will come off
thanks for any help

no special nuts im aware off but i could be wrong.also i have a pair of convo pro multi fits and there a racing wheel i could not see them having issues with high speeds cause thats what their made for.

these arnt convo they are cragars i dunno if that would make any difference

sorry to show how dumb i am but is the tapper the threaded part the nust screws onto? also because they are multi fit lining the wheels up even is a must obviously is there any tricks people know to make it simple cheers

oh ok i get you but with mine there is only 5 holes as per the stud pattern just instead of them being circle they are oval so they must fit like 5 studs but that have a different offset(if thats the right word)

na mine are really just a oval maybe they were an 8 before i got them but i dont think so bcos all the holes are the same and dont look just worn that way unless someone has specifically drilled them like that but yeah ill definately be going down to the tyre place that got the tyres for me it was hard getting the tyres for them because they were 15x 10 i got the 2nd last set apparantly b4 they had to import more from america i dunno if it was good spin or the truth but.
also are they illegal someone told me they were?

They are factory slotted. The nuts are normal mag nuts, but you use much bigger/heavier washers with them than normal, and the washers depend on which stud pattern you are fitting them to. E.g. for Ford stud pattern the washers will have the centre hole offset, while for Holden/Chev pattern the hole will be centred. These washers push against the small nibs on the inside of the spokes to ensure that the wheel centres correctly.

They are perfectly safe if used correctly with the correct washers, however I wouldn't know about legalities on your side of the ditch; some places have blanket rules against slotted wheels because they can be easy to locate wrongly.

ah ok mate thanks very much for that do i need to goto a special place for those or should my local tyre shop be able to help me out

Any good wheel/tyre place should be able to help you, especially if they sell Cragars

ok so i took my rim and tapper down to the tyre shop and he reckons they have never seen multi fits like mine and that its probably just ****ed and i lost it bcos the same tyre shop not 6 months ago happily put tyres on the rims and apparantly didnt pick up on it but when i showed him the rim it took him 1 sec to realise it as soon as he saw it hes like na there buggered. he called hes mate and they reckon that the only way to fix it is is to weld all the rims which will be at least 300 a rim. so now im stuck with 4 rims which are apparantly multifits and a set of tyres with 100% tread that i cant use. im going to put a photo up tommorow when i get the camera and see what you guys reckon but i dunno doesnt look too good and im not real happy lol

Yes post a good photo and it should be obvious. Sounds a bit like they're trying to take them off your hands cheap...?
