Well I'm stupid enough not to have realised this sooner. However My spare wheel is a steel wheel yet I only have Alloy Wheel nuts.

Anyone know if anywhere local does steel wheel nuts?

Halfords? Motor Factors?

Or anywhere on the way from here to Wales? Little broad I know

I changed my steel wheels for alloys a few months ago and have a bag of steel wheel nuts with no home.

If you wanted some (all of them) the only issue would be getting them to you.

I could probably get away with putting them in a small DHL box if you PM me your address and tell me how many you'd like?

Yeah I know I can get em online, wanted to find some today. Rang loads of people either closed or have none..

Going to Wales tomorrow so could have done with a spare wheel/tyre....

I assume I cannot fit a steel wheel on with alloy nuts and drive?

Yes, you can. I have had to do it a couple of times. Your thread has reminded me that I also need to get some steel wheel nuts!

Depends on the alloy fitting profile, may well be they won't go into the centering area of the steel wheel, wouldn't stop me using it for a short distance, as long as they tighten against the wheel itself. Will damage your studs if not held firm.

Worst it could possibly be would be getting a flat in the middle of a lane then a 200 mile drive back.

Better than my last spare. Current are 265/75 spare was 235/55!!
