Re: I just want to replace my split rims on my 1970 C30

Decide what rims you are using steel or aluminum and if you are using a clamping ring put it in the equation.

Buy these type of lug nuts they come in different shank lengths and you may get lucky with a factory length or have a machine shop shorten the shank if you don't have access to a lathe, be sure and slightly chamfer the ends. Make sure the shank will go thru your wheel stud opening with clearance, mine do, if not have a machine shop open the holes up for you.

The shank length will be everything combined less 25-30% of your (rim only) wheel mounting surface thickness, so it will be just shy of bottoming out on the hub/drum assembly on your front rims when everything is tight, and the same 25-30% on your inside rear dual rim wheel mounting surface thickness.
The finished result will be your lug nut and bushing combined with clearance for the clamping effect. Your rears will be longer than the fronts because of 2 rims. Because your rims are hub centric the rears are very easy to align the holes and lug nut shanks when installing.

It's very easy to do

Mine are mid 90's Ford Alloys with a steel ford inside rear dual all mounted with 1/2"-20 shank style lug nuts
