tokuzumi Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 And a 17mm diameter shank. I have Western wheels with removable spokes in the stock size (14 x 6-ish). When buttoning everything back up from my brake job, I noticed one of my lug nuts wasn't round at the base anymore. All the lugs are fine, as I was able to thread a lug nut on all studs as a test. Trying to find a mag style lug nut with a short collar is easier said than done. Some paper napkin measuring shows I have about 10 mm from the wheel face to the outside of the hub. Current lug nuts have about 3mm of collar below the washer. They are the stock M12 x 1.25 thread The wheels; And this is the lug nut I'm trying to replace (21mm socket, 34mm long); As long as I can get something that fits in the 17mm lug stud hole, I'll be good. I can double up on some washers on the shank if need be. On an unrelated note, how much of a job would it be to get the holes on the wheels enlarged to accommodate the 18mm shank on every lug nut on the internet?

NewZed Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) Gorilla has good stuff on their site and seems to make a good product. You can find them in the auto parts stores, on the shelf. Read this page and you'll see that hole size is not the issue. Yours have a specific seat style. Wheels either locate through the seat, or by the shank. Shanks require a precision hole. The others require a precision seat. https://www.gorilla-auto.com/gorilla-tech-tips Edited November 22, 2020 by NewZed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokuzumi Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 I found some I think will work. Ordered a set. I saw Gorilla come up a few times in searches, but never these lug nuts. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wjbrooks11 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I have had the holes on wheels drilled out bigger by a machine shop, they charged me $60 for all four wheels. This was with an 8 lug wheels so may be even cheaper for your wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
