Centre Lock Wheel Nut Socket for Porsche 918 Spyder – Precision Motorsport Tool for Hypercar Wheel Removal

This centre lock wheel nut socket is engineered specifically for the Porsche 918 Spyder, delivering the precision, strength and accuracy required when working with high-performance centre-lock wheel systems. Crafted to match the exact tooth profile of the 918’s centre-lock nut, this socket ensures secure engagement and damage-free removal or installation of the wheel nut.

Fits:

• Porsche 918 Spyder 4.6L

The Porsche 918 Spyder’s hybrid hypercar drivetrain generates extreme torque, heat, and wheel load—meaning the centre-lock design relies on perfect fitment, precise torque application and uncompromising tool quality. This specialist socket provides the reliability needed for safe servicing, track preparation and wheel changes.

What This Centre Lock Socket Does

This advanced tool is designed to:

• Engage perfectly with the Porsche 918’s centre lock wheel nut
• Enable safe wheel removal and installation
• Prevent rounding or marking of lightweight performance wheel nuts
• Support accurate torque application during wheel fitting
• Ensure secure grip without slippage, even under high torque
• Protect centre-lock components, including hub and wheel face

Ideal for hypercar workshops, motorsport teams and dedicated Porsche specialists.

Why Centre Lock Wheel Systems Fail

Centre-lock wheels, especially on ultra-high performance models like the 918 Spyder, can fail due to:

• Incorrect or incompatible sockets damaging the locking nut
• Over-tightening or under-tightening caused by poor tool fit
• Soft or worn tools rounding the aluminium nut
• Misalignment, stressing the hub assembly
• Impact gun usage, which can fracture or distort the nut
• Wear from repeated track wheel changes

A compromised centre-lock nut can lead to wheel vibration, unsafe fitment or in extreme cases, wheel separation.

Why This Socket Should Be Used or Replaced

A precision centre-lock socket ensures:

• Accurate and safe centre-lock wheel removal
• Zero risk of damaging expensive 918 Spyder wheel nuts
• Correct torque transfer for road and track use
• Extended lifespan of hubs, nuts and wheels
• Professional reliability under extreme torque loads
• Confidence during maintenance of a high-value Porsche hypercar

Using the wrong tool on a 918 Spyder can result in thousands of pounds of avoidable damage—making a purpose-engineered socket essential.
