Lug Nuts
I recently purchased Weld Racing lug nuts and washers for my new Bogart Drag-on Star III's. The washers deformed badly upon tightening and of course marked the wheels a little. I have a few different types of lug nuts around from old wheels and all the washers are crap. Are there some good lugs out there or are the 5/8 drive studs the only answer.
I'm really not killing these things with torque.. the washers are just soft. Thanks for your input. Gary |
Re: Lug Nuts
Gary,
I have "worried" over this issue for years. After trying a number of brands and styles of lug nuts and washers the result was always been as you described. And as you described, over tightening is not the problem. I have tried several lubrication methods, grease, never-seize, even cam lube. Regardless, the washers deform and eventually mar the wheels plus hang up on the nut. If someone provides an oversize, hard washer I do not know about it. The only satisfactory solution I have found is 5/8" studs with aluminum spacers and flat flange nuts. Once you go that route you will be happy with the result. |

Re: Lug Nuts
What Alan is showing is the answer. We have them and love them. Larry Hodge keeps them in stock for different shank lengths. Give him a call.
