15" to 18" alloys - Lug nuts same?

Feb 8th, 2007, 12:03

I've managed to source 18" Pegasus Rims for my V70 2002 fwd wagon.
I have 15" OEM rims on. Can I use the same lug nuts or is the thread a different length due to 18" rim. I know PCD is still same 5x108mm.

Also - do I have to put in steering limiters OR adjust turning circle to prevent scraping inside of front wheel well at full lock?

It won't go any faster - at least it will look like it will!

I think the newer V70s do not require any modifications to put 18s on. To my knwledge the pegs should not rub as the V70 new shape had 18s from the yeah 2000 or 2001 I am not sure... unless someone corrects me, but I think you should be fine for them to straight on.

I know your shape has225 profile, so if you went for 235 then maybe it might, someone else should shed some light on this. It should be fine to run 225 on the pegs.

Good luck with the new rims
