lug bolts

Secure your wheels

Lug bolts are threaded fasteners that secure a wheel to a vehicle's hub.

Unlike lug nuts, which thread onto a separate stud, lug bolts thread directly into the hub itself.

Common on European vehicles: I need a socket to remove the lug bolts on my BMW.

Also called wheel bolts.
