Notes

This wheel is supplied with RNB716 (1/2” UNF thread) as standard – these need to be changed for RNB716/STAG nuts (which have a 7/16” UNF thread).

This wheel will fit straight onto your existing wheel studs – no conversion necessary.

P.C.D. is the Pitch Circle Diameter and is the diameter of an imaginary circle drawn through the centres of the holes, click here for instructions on measuring PCDs

All ACWW bolt-on wire wheels are supplied with the appropriate nuts, caps and wrench. Replacement centre caps and replacement nuts are available from stock.

For bolt-on wheel nuts the recommended torque is 75 ft lb (10.4 N m) but may vary depending on the vehicle.

The warranty period commences from the date of invoice and is subject to the wheels being maintained as per our Wheel Care advice and in conjunction with our Terms and Conditions.
