Default Spare tire lug nuts.

I found my spare tire on the ground this morning, looks like someone was going to take it,but left it.
But I could not find 2 lug nuts this a alloy wheel and the lug nuts
on the reg wheels will not work and Land Rover of Dallas is out.

So anyone know where I can find them?

Thanks For the Help.

Someone else just posted the same thing late last week that his spare tire lugs were stolen too. Must be that time of year or something. I would just phone up Atlantic British and ask which are the ones you need. Otherwise I guess just have to order them from Land Rover.

Do you only have one right now or do you have 3 out of the 5? Because the spare tire only has 3 lugs to hold it on for some reason. I thought I was missing two but I was told they all have 3 out of 5 for the spare.

If you have dont 3 here is Atlantic British's site, they have lugs:

The spare tire mount has 3 lug nuts.

I have extra lug nuts for the wheels (on the truck)
but have found that they will not fit the spare carrier.
They bottom out before they are tight.
The extra lug nuts I have are OEM but I don't know if the after
market lug nuts are threaded all the way or just go part way
like the OEM ones.

You might need to consider getting a locking lug nut for your spare. I think you can find them at Atlantic British.
I find it interesting that someone would have the proper lug wrench for the landrover as the nuts are larger then most trucks and cars..

I'm just going to take a die grinder and cut the studs so reg
lug nuts will work.
I was going to tap the lugs nuts to make them deeper but I did not
have the right size tap.
The spare tire carrier was for the steel wheel, so I think when it was changed out the nut left has deeper threads
