Yes the factory alloys use a 60 degree cone which is quite common. Many aftermarket lug bolts in this size only have a 17mm hex head which works since many wheels do not have space for a 19mm impact socket. For my wheel fitments I have been using the spline tuner nuts or bolts when needed. Makes it easy to get sets and needing that socket is a theft deterrent. |
