EMPI Chrome Lug Nuts — M14 x 1.5, 60° Acorn Seat, Set of 4 (00-9519-0)

Once you have converted a VW to wheel studs, whether for easier wheel changes, a buggy, or aftermarket rims, you need nuts that match both the thread and the wheel seat. EMPI 00-9519-0 is a set of four chrome M14 x 1.5 acorn lug nuts with a 60° conical seat, the seat most aftermarket steel and alloy wheels use.

Key Features & Benefits

• M14 x 1.5 thread: matches EMPI and other M14 VW stud conversions.
• 60° conical (acorn) seat: centers aftermarket wheels that are cut for a tapered nut.
• Closed-end acorn style: the chrome cap covers the stud end and keeps the threads clean.
• Chrome finish: looks right on bare steel wheels and polished rims.
• Genuine EMPI: sold by Washburn's Metal.

Fitment

Universal to M14 x 1.5 wheel studs with 60° conical-seat wheels. The EMPI price file gives no vehicle fitment for this part. Stock Beetle, Ghia, Type 3 and 1950–70 Bus use lug bolts, so on those cars these nuts only fit once the car has studs. The 1971–79 Bus has M14 x 1.5 studs from the factory, but its stock steel wheels are ball seat; for 60° 5x112 alloys see EMPI 00-9547-0 (small diameter).

• CONFIRMED (EMPI): M14 x 1.5 thread, 60° acorn seat, set of 4.
• NOT CONFIRMED (depends on your conversion): Beetle, Super Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Type 3 and Bus with M14 x 1.5 stud conversions (dealer-listed by JBugs), and dune buggies and sand rails on VW drums or hubs with M14 studs.
• Does not fit: stock VW lug-bolt hubs without studs, 12 mm or 1/2-20 studs (see EMPI 00-9537-0 / 00-9535-0), ball-seat VW or Porsche wheels, and flat-seat mag wheels (they need a mag nut with a shank).

Installation Notes

• Check the seat first. Hold a nut in a lug hole, and the wheel needs a matching 60° taper. Wrong-seat nuts will loosen.
• Start every nut by hand, then snug them in a star pattern with the wheel off the ground.
• Torque to the wheel maker's spec on the ground, again in a star pattern, and re-check after the first 50 miles.
• Make sure the stud reaches at least as many threads as its diameter (14 mm) of engagement. If it does not, the stud is too short for this wheel.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these fit my stock 1970 VW Beetle? Not on their own. A stock Beetle uses lug BOLTS that thread into the drum. These are NUTS for M14 x 1.5 wheel studs, so they fit after a stud conversion (for example EMPI 00-9517-0 studs) with wheels that have a 60° conical seat.
• What seat do they have? A 60° conical (acorn/taper) seat, the kind used on most aftermarket steel and alloy wheels. They are not for VW ball-seat (radius) wheels or flat mag-seat wheels.
• What is the part number? EMPI 00-9519-0, a set of 4. UPC 707924416596. Singles are EMPI 00-9519-7 (interchange AC6015408).
• How many do I need? A 4-lug car needs 16, so four sets. A 5-lug car needs 20, so buy five sets, or look at EMPI's 5-piece sets.
• What socket do they take? 13/16 in (about 21 mm), dealer-listed.
• How does it ship? As a small parcel (6 x 5 x 1 in, 0.47 lb). It is not hazmat and has no ground-only restriction.
