| #1 Grabber5.0 | ET style lugnuts? | ||
|
This is the first I've seen of these... I get the idea you can use them with normal conical seat wheels, they just reach further down the lug. Is that right? http://www.customwheelaccessories.com/et_radius_dual_thread.html |

Further reading in my google search turned up this.. sounds like he knows what he's talking about. Basically he's saying that's exactly what they were designed for, and many wheel manufacturers take them into account and drill the lug holes large enough to accommodate them. http://wheelprofessor.com/2009/02/20/tech-stuff-13-et-lug-nuts-what-are-they-and-why/ |

Because I want to be able to run a small spacer (1/4") in the back to get to the backspacing I wish I had ordered in the first place :P, but my lugs are not long enough to engage 1/2" of thread if I do. I can't get a slightly longer stud, only much longer ones, and I don't want to run open ended lug nuts. I could shorten the studs, but that would be to much work for 10 of them. :D |
