Wheel Nut (Genuine) EVO1-9, EVOX, Ralliart

Wheel Nut (Genuine) – EVO1-9, EVOX, Ralliart – MR455707
This is a genuine Mitsubishi wheel nut designed for strength, durability, and precise fitment.

Suitable for all Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution I–IX, EVO X, and Ralliart models, these wheel nuts ensure secure wheel fastening as per factory specifications.

Using genuine hardware helps prevent thread damage, uneven torque, and wheel safety issues commonly seen with aftermarket alternatives.

Why choose genuine?
Factory wheel nuts are engineered to handle the correct torque loads without compromising safety. Genuine replacements guarantee proper seating and finish, unlike cheaper aftermarket options that may strip, crack, or loosen.

Alloy wheel nuts aren’t generally recommended for performance cars like the Mitsubishi EVO. Here’s why:

🔧 Why Alloy Wheel Nuts Are Not Recommended

1. Strength & Durability – Alloy (aluminium) wheel nuts are much softer than OEM steel nuts. They can deform under proper torque or working loads, especially on heavy or high-powered vehicles.

2. Thread Damage – Softer material wears out faster, which can strip threads on the nut or wheel stud, leading to unsafe fastening.

3. Heat Resistance – Under braking, EVO hubs and wheels generate a lot of heat. Alloy nuts can lose strength or even seize when exposed to repeated high temperatures.

4. Safety Risk – If an alloy nut loosens or cracks, the wheel can come loose. Genuine steel wheel nuts are designed to hold consistent torque and clamping force.

5. Maintenance Issues – Alloy nuts are more prone to galling (metal sticking during tightening) and cosmetic damage from tools, making them less practical for regular wheel changes.

👉 That’s why genuine OEM steel nuts (MR455707) are always the recommended choice for EVO1-9, EVOX, and Ralliart.
