Use aluminum inserts in your racing wheels and a flat nut to secure the wheel. I absolutely love mine and it makes changing tires sooooo much easier. So sorry to HIGHJACK your thread Jody, my apologies ….

These are for the front wheels. The .750 shank doesn't reach all the way through the hub. The 1.375 are too long. I see the Mr Gaskets have a 1" shank,but they are from China. I guess I could use the Mcgards and trim them down. Just hate to do it with a grinding wheel.

The aluminum inserts and flat nuts work with front wheels. Walk the staging lanes and you will see how popular they are.

I don't think I can use these unless I use a longer stud. I have open ended nuts . The end of the stud is flush with the end of the nut,

Where did you order the inserts from? I lost one recently and haven’t found a supplier…probably just not looking for the right part.

I got mine from a supplier in Pennsylvania many years ago .He advertised in Joni’s race shop in National Dragster. Maybe Larry Hodge would know ? My flat nuts came from ARP ….

Because I'm talking "shank" length. The shank should reach all the way through the hub,or very close to it.
