Yes. From memory M12 x 1.5 thread.

Do NOT under any circumstances buy the ones from CC Parts - they are made of chocolate or similar!! How do I know....................................bought a set, fitted and torqued up correctly, then tried to get them off to clean the wheels and the locking key ripped the bolt head keyed bit right off.

 

Had to get CC to remove them, they damaged a wheel in the process and very kindly replaced it with a new one FOC.

So, ended well but could have done without it.

I bought the Evo Mk V lock nuts part no. BGO/E for my 2008 CSR. As said above, don't buy the CC ones, their Mountney nuts are really quite useless. The cap removal tool does not work and the removal plunger snapped on first attempt to use it (both plastic). Furthermore, I reckon it would be quite easy to force a smaller size socket over the nut to remove it.

 

I contacted Julian Maddison at Evo Automotive for advice about the correct nuts

I got a set of five McGard (one for spare too) from Halfords.

 

Can probably find the model number if needed.
