wheel nut sizes for 600h - urgent ;)

[julianls]

so, for the third time, the locking wheel nut has gone walkabouts from the car. It's amazing that every time it gets "a good cleaning" by the missus this happens, despite all protestations to the contrary ..

Anyways, long story short, I need to get a replacement set of nuts / locking nuts tomorrow, so it kinda rules out going to a lexus dealer - does anyone know what sort / size / shape a LS600h nut is, and can I get it from a place like Halfords ?

many thanks ..

I'm not sure, but I got some from Halfords for my LS 400. As I recall they were listed by model, although I can't recall for sure. They also sell a "laser locking wheel nut remover", which is a bit disturbing. My car came without the locking wheelnut key so my local tyre place got the old ones off with a judicious combination of brute force and ignorance.

Nice to see a 600 owner posting. I am considering a 600h when my house renovation is complete. Are they as impressive as I imagine them to be?

The LS range and I assume the same applies to the LS600h use what I call "sleeved" wheel nuts so part of the nut actually fits inside the hole in the wheel, other makes including aftermarket wheels use "tapered" nuts so just make sure you get the correct type.

In the wheel well usually.
