Am i right in saying the required nut size for the 17 x 7.5, 5 x 114.3 size will be the same for all offsets?

I.E If i was to order a set but my offset was wrong would they still fit?

Stupid question but i want to make sure.

You need to put the nut through the wheel and see how many threads come out the other side/will go into the car. Should be around 5 threads.

When you buy new wheels you usually get the bolts for them anyway.

Ffs silly iphone.
Longer and skinnier socket to remove the nuts.

Assuming if i get said skinny nuts and measure the length of the threaded part currently on my car ill be fine? The diameter will be the same on all nuts and bolts?

Ask on a Honda forum, they will know straight away what nuts you need.

I know what you mean.But they will still fit regardless of offset.The threads will still be poking through the holes the same as they would on the standard wheels.

m12 x1.5 is standard wheel nut. 22 quid seems a bit steep

If the offset on them means that there isn't enough of the thread sticking out with the wheels on all you'd need to do it look into getting new studs assuming they just need double nutted to be replaced.

The easiest way to tell if there's enough thread there is to stick a nut on - as long as the stud comes through the other side and is at least just above the flush it's fine
