Guest tylerpomroy Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 i got a set of some honeycomb 14x7 wheels for my 280z, having it all together we found out the front wheels wobble at higher speeds and it makes the steering wheel shake a bit, we got them balanced and upon further inspection it seems that the wheels are not centering right, because the hub wont line up on the wheel right (wheel not made for car maybe) so its hard to get the lug nuts to even out the tire right i guess. so my question is this: is there a place i can get lug nuts that will go deeper into my wheel than standard lug nuts to hold the wheel as straight as possible? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughdogz Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 There are two basic types of wheels: 1) Hub centric (the hub centers the wheel) 2) Lug centric (the lugs center the wheel) I know for sure that '70-'83 Z's are lug centric. Is it possible your wheels are hub-centric? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Maybe the hub bore is too small on your wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage42 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Maybe the hub bore is too small on your wheels? That is exactly what I thought as soon as I read it. You may need to take a die grinder with an aluminum bit and hog out the center hole. I had to do that to mount some Toyota Supra rims on my 510 back in the day. Just a thought.
