i would be guessing 1.25, as it seems fine to me but im not sure.. y dont u take ur wheels of and find out :p its measured from peak of the thread to another peak of the tread :)
i would suggest using vernier callipers tho ;)

it should be M12 X 1.5. = M12 fine.

1.25 is normally found on M10 which I've only seen on small weight cars.

most are M12 fine.

i was always taught that 12x1.5 is medium, as 12x1.75 is coarse, and 12x1.25 is fine and the less common 12x1 is super fine
either way if u say its m12x1.5 ur more right than me haha

your right

but you find in acutal REAL world application aka industry.

they will list straight up course 1.75 and the 1.5 into the fine stage.

to me 1.5 is not fine but, it's something they just do.

like if I get given a order- like need Caphead M12 Fine - 55mm it's auto 1.5pitch. and blackwoods send it out.
because 1.25 and 1 is like uncommon.

it's like I found out I needed or someone need a tap for M16 - X1.25 - that took a long time to arrive. because even blackwoods was like oh have to order in.



on topic

Irony - I found 4 cracked wheel nuts on my car.

I just bought a set of 17"s yesterday , and it came with no wheels nuts , went to beaurepairs and they told me 1.5 is slighty big for my car (astina hatch 4 stud) :confused:

sounds to me like u shouldnt take your car back there since they dont know what the hell they are talking about..
if project.R and rodhog say something 99.9999999% of the time they are right
and scott b has 1.5mm nuts as well (was that a pun.. i dunno :p)

why would you not just use the standard/original wheel nuts?
