You mean wheel nut??

Whatever - VW and Porsche are both metric.
So...it is standard VW in that they are both metric

Thanks for that Biz, made a few phone calls to specialist wheel suppliers but they couldn't help, took a drive to visit their shop but still no good "take it to an engineering place and get em to measure the thread"was the best they could do, on the way home saw a Bob Jane store, whiped in and the bloke identified it straight off, wiped out a set of threads on a ring to confirm, showed me a couple of choices then says their the same as on the Crewman I am driving, he was able to supply them complete with the plastic caps. another win for Bob.

NO... all pre- VZ Holden have 12mm studs; VE Holden is a larger 14mm thread like VW but uses a taper seat on the face of the nut, NOT a 'ball' seat (Porsche/Audi/VW)
