What is the difference between a wheel nut and a wheel bolt?

Used in conjunction to secure a vehicle's wheels, wheel bolts screw into the hub whilst wheel nuts thread into the studs. Wheel bolts also have an external thread, compared to the wheel nuts which have an internal thread.

How do I know what size wheel bolts I need?

Check your owner’s manual to find the wheel bolt size for your vehicle, or use a thread pitch gauge to determine the size and type. You can also use our online tool to find compatible wheel bolts and nuts.

Can you replace a wheel bolt?

Replacing a wheel bolt is fairly simple, but it's always best to leave the job to a mechanic if you're unsure how to go about it. You'll need to use a hammer to remove the old studs, before installing new ones by pressing them in using a wheel nut and spacer.
