McGard Locking Wheel Bolts – Standard Size M12 x 1.25 (27169SU)

Description

Genuine McGard · Part no. 27169SU

McGard 27169SU locking wheel bolts have an M12 x 1.25 thread and come four to a pack with one key, one lock for each wheel. McGard makes several Standard (SU) sets in this same thread, and they differ in seat shape and length, so this page is about picking the right one as much as what it does.

Good to know

• How do I tell which M12 x 1.25 set I need? Take one bolt off and compare it: the seat under the head is either tapered (cone) or rounded (radius), and the threaded shank has a set length.
• Why does the seat matter? A cone bolt in a radius-seat wheel, or the other way round, touches on a thin ring and can let the wheel work loose.
• Where should the key live? In the car, somewhere you'll remember, because a tyre fitter or breakdown patrol needs it to take the wheel off.

Which one?

Other M12 x 1.25 Standard sets include McGard 27170SU and 27216SU, which differ in seat or length. For the Ultra High Security version of this thread, see the McGard Locking Wheel Bolts – Ultra High Security Size M12 x 1.25 (26002SL).
