Most cars have the 12 mm ballseats that your wheels would have had. Then there's the late model S-class cars and M-class SUVs which came with the larger 14 mm lugbolts & corresponding ball seats. You were not wrong in that sense. It's just that the person you were responding to was referring to the other kind (lughole size) of wheel. BenT |
