Wheels locks and bolts

[BIGBODY300]

Hey guys i just installed my new chrome 22's

I got the McGard wheels locks from my dealership and they key wont fit in the hole on my new wheels..so i had to return them

What McGard wheel locks are you guys running, is there a thinner KEY so it fits in the hole of the new wheels?

Also for bolts, what wheels bolts are you running? stock? I noticed the stock ones have a tapered back on them, and my wheel hole is flat on the back..is this ok?

let me know thanks.

I don't have a clue what brand locks they put on. They just told me "don't lose the key" hehe

Bolts???? The wheel bolts are attached to the brake rotor and not removed. Since your new wheels are flat on the rear you have to remove the Tinnerman Clips from each brake hub. The clips are pictured here - the 2 bronze circle things.

as far as wheel locks you will need a spline drive or tuner style lug lock:

Spline Drive Style



Hex Socket Style




For better security you can buy the above styles as complete sets of 20. That way each lug nut requires the key to be removed. Instead of having 4 locks you have 20 locks.
