I am trying to fit the kent alloy wheel to my series 3 which previously had pepperpots fitted and the wheel nuts dont seem correct for the kent wheel. Please Can someone who has kent type wheels take a picture of the correct wheel net for those wheels.
I am not sure if the nut should be tapered or flat where it interfaces with the wheel and also what is the height of the nut section where the lug wrench slides over. Would appreciate if someone can tell me or post a picture. Also what size is the hex/socket? Thanks

 

Flat interface to the wheel.

.875" hex

As far as I know the Pepperpot wheels used the same nuts

Google "CCC7028 Jaguar"

Thank you very much for that information.
My conundrum now is that i purchased a set of wheel nuts which have the flat face but the shank of the nut measures 18.5 mm and it does'nt seem to fit in the hole in the kent wheel?? The hole in the kent seems to measure 17.5mm-18mm.
The wheels are freshly painted so the thickness of the paint would account for some of the hole size but not enough to clear an 18.5mm shank. if someone could measure the shank size of the correct wheel nut i would appreciate it so i can figure out if i need nuts with a smaller shank. Also the nuts i had holding on the pepperpots have a tapered end which interfaced with the wheel so i think they were incorrect nut for pepperpots to begin with so i never had a correct nut to swap over to the kents unfortunately.

 

when I got rid of my Kent wheels and went to XJ40 wheels, I had to buy longer lugnuts for the front because I had to add a spacer to the fronts to clear the calipers. But in the rear I had no issues using the original black Kent lugnuts with the XJ40 wheels.

 

I measured the wheel nuts in use with my kent wheels; overall diameter of flat is 1 5/16" or about 30 mm and the shank is 11/16 " or about 18mm.

Thank you Barcho, those were the measurements I needed, the 18mm shank is what I was guessing judging from looking at my wheels but its reassuring to get the confirmation on that.
To close out on my issue and the thread I took the nuts i had purchased with the 18.5mm shank and ground them down to 18mm until they fitted. I realise its a little bit of a crude solution, hopefully the nuts wont corrode excessively
where i ground of the surface coating but i greased them up to reduce corrosion. If they corrode excessively ill replace them at a later time with correct items. Thanks for the information posted by those who replied to my questions. I will post a picture of the car with the kents when I have a chance to clean the rest of the car.
