I had a problem with the above so took all four of today.
I have replaced the lock nuts with four others but they are not the right
length.
Are all V70 wheel nuts the same.

Apparently not! My 1999/2000 (old shape) V70 doesn't have wheel nuts at
all - it has wheel bolts which screw into tapped holes in the hubs.

Ditto. On my '01 V70 XC they are bolts and not nuts. This makes a lot
of sense, since if the threads get buggered up by a loose wheel, you
just replace the bolt and not the hub. However, it makes it harder to
change tires since you just have a small pin to line up the wheel with.
I don't think NASCAR will ever adopt this system.
