I am thinking of getting some McGard 'Ultra' Locking Wheel Nuts for my 2002 MCS.

I don't have the standard wheels fitted though - I have some 18" BK166s on. Will this make any difference?

The part number for the MCS fitment is 27179SL I believe.

Hope you can help
Chris

You should have no problems using the McGard Ultra 27179 SL on aftermarket wheels. Just check the wheels are hub centric and check the profile of the bolts supplied with the wheels are the same as the originals. Hub centric means the wheels weight (or load) is held by the hub and the bolts just keep the wheels on the hub. I'm sure the BK's will pass both checks

Some people are like a Slinky ........ not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs
