	Some of the alloy wheels I'm considering have sleeve nuts. I hadnt seen this as an issue. Ive just realised my van does not use hubcentric wheels. It doesnt even have a central boss on the hub. No big deal, I'm used to vw's and lugcentric wheels. However, these (my van included) have cone nuts to center the wheel. Can sleeve nut wheels be used in a non hubcentric application? Ive not used wheels like this before. They don't come with nuts, id have to source some, I'm not sure how much free play there will be.

	Hi, Providing the sleeve nut isn't too loose a fit, and it does need a clearance to be tightened up, the run-out of the wheel won't be too bad. You could try Mister Tee for a suitable sized nut. There was a thread on here a while a go where someone came across a seat that could be pushed in that had a tapered seat for the nut to centralise the wheel. ISTR that Dez either spoke about it or was interested in it, if he can remember or I can think which thread it was I will come back. Early alloy wheels on some cars used to have sleeve nuts and not be spigot mounted. Colin
