Re: Wheel adapters don't fit
You can't use your acorn nuts. You have to use standard lug nuts and the head of the nut will probably be flush with the end of your lug studs.

Re: Wheel adapters don't fit
..interesting. I wondered about using the silly acorn nuts, but it's all I had, at the time. I think like Andy...I just got back from NAPA with 1/4" longer studs. I did pick up 2 standard nuts, so I'll try those before replacing the existing 7/16-20x1.5 stock ones.

Re: Wheel adapters don't fit
Even the standard lug nuts only grab by a turn or two. I noticed the hub bore on the adapter does not go over the shaft. It buts up against it. That's another 1/4". I don't think these spacers are correct.
Well, well...check CL and sure enough guy near me is selling 4 (although only need two), with the much bigger hub diameter. Now the current studs work just fine! Thanks for your help, for sure. Last edited by wrager; 07-17-2014 at 09:19 PM. |

Re: Wheel adapters don't fit
Glad you figured it out. Hub diameter will make a differance for sure. It needs to sit flush on the hub to be correct. In fact a little slop is better around the hub than to tight!
