Wheel stud thread is the same for all L322 ie M14x1.5mm. |

Hmm, is this correct? I've a set of 2005 (or so) 19" wheels. Will these not fit my 2007 model if I use the old style nuts, or is the actual wheel also incompatible? |

Just to confirm the above is well intentioned but erroneous advice. You can run pre 2006 wheels on a post 2006 L322 so long as you use pre 2006 nuts. The only possible issues are with brake clearance (which I think only affects 18" wheels, and also the TPMS, which you can disable with the IID tool. |

Right that's confused me I have a 2003 L322 with 18" wheels , just bought a set of 19" wheels from a 2010 L322 My nuts are black , do I need the bigger nuts or will the black ones fit, it's cold outside so I don't want to change them to find out I don't have the correct nuts Old wheels New wheels Last edited by wack61 on 27th Dec 2017 1:32pm.

generally any wheel from 2005'ish will have the bigger nuts, RRS or FF.. ... - .- -.

Here is the lug looks flat at the base so should black be ok?

I would think if they are Hawke wheels they would take 06> nuts NOT the pre <06 black nuts... Hawke have only been around a short (ish) time so i wouldn’t think they would have made wheels pre the 06 uplift... |

Is there a way to see if they would fit aren’t they the same size lengthwise just tapered? In which case if the wheels are flat and wide enough both would fit? Or am I missing something? Current stable:
