Wheel bolt size

Post by dmwhiteoak »

I need to run a tap in one of my wheel bolt holes in the hub but no one seems to carry the tap. I have figured out , or I think, that the bolt size is 12m x 1.25. Is this correct? I have every other side tap but this one and have looked everywhere but a machine shop supply. The vendors also list the bolts at 12m x 1.25. Any thoughts?

12x1.25 is correct.
same as Nissan cars and 'some' Subarus. But nowhere near as common as the 12x1.5 found on most import cars.
