EMPI 60° Chrome Lug Nut Kit — Set of 20, M14x1.5 Small Diameter, for 5x112 Bay Bus Wheels
Short answer: This kit is 20 EMPI 00-9547-0 chrome lug nuts (four sets of five, each set with its install tool): M14x1.5 thread, 60° cone seat, small diameter. EMPI lists 00-9547-0 for all of its 5x112 wheels, so this kit mounts a full set of four EMPI 5x112 alloys on a 1971–1979 VW Bay Window Bus with its factory M14x1.5 studs.

Why It Matters
The 1971–1979 Bay Bus is lug-centric: the nuts, not the hub bore, center the wheel. That makes the nut seat critical. EMPI specifies this 60° cone-seat, small-diameter nut for all of its 5x112 wheels, turned with the tool supplied in each set. Factory Bus nuts are made for factory wheels and should not be reused on EMPI alloys.
Install Notes
- Use the supplied tool and a torque wrench; do not use an impact gun on chrome nuts.
- Tighten in a star pattern in stages.
- Ratwell's Bay Bus guide lists 94 ft-lb for the 1971+ Bus wheel nuts; confirm against your wheel maker's spec.
- Re-check torque after the first 50 miles.
