Looking for a Lug Nut

[slick230]

Does anyone have an extra lug nut that would fit a 2003 M3? A shady 24 hour tire repair shop stripped the threads on one of mine which I did not find out about until the next day.

Thanks,

Our cars use lug bolts, not lug nuts. Are you sure that just the lug bolt is damaged and not the threads in the hub? That being said, I've got a few extra aftermarket silver bolts I don't use that you can have.

As far as I can tell the threads in the hub look OK but I am not 100% sure. I would be happy to take one off your hands if you don't mind. I am in Laurel, MD.

I am NOT qualified as a mechanic. However, I was cautioned at a concurs for using the silver bolts. The collar angle of the after-market bolts is not exactly the same as the black BMW ones. I would suggest you spend a few dollars and get the proper one, for safety.

I drove down to Tischer BMW in Sliver Springs, MD but they did not have any bolts that would fit. Turns out my rear wheels have ~20mm spacers on them. They recommended that I go to Radial Tire in Silver Springs, MD. Radial Tire had a bolt that fit but the hub was Alpha Foxtrot Uniform. They fixed the hub, put the new bolt on, and mounted 2 front tires for $35 bucks! Now back to Tischer tomorrow at 3 to get an alignment.

I have some black and some silver bolts if anyone needs some (u pick up).
