I'm collecting the rest of the bits I'll need to do my 911 brake conversion and get Boxster rims mounted. It seems the rims have a ball type seating surface for the lugs and I can't seem to find lug nuts to match (the Boxster uses bolts, I think). All of the 14x1.5 thread lug nuts I've found have the 60 degree conical seat. Is it safe to use a conical nut on a ball seat wheel? Could the wheel seats be reshaped? Is there a conical to ball seat washer/adaptor? I know at least a couple of you out there are using Boxster rims....how did you bolt them on?

i dont see why you couldn't reshape the ball shaped seats into conical seats.....
also don't see why you couldn't make an adaptor.....

You might take a look http://www.boothedesign.com/
no, no, no!!! get a big file, some scrap metal, and adapt them. maybe you can pound some coke cans flat. that way they'll be really light weight.

why is it that what the PO did is my responsibility?
explain why conical seats are different than ball seats?

so tell me, how when torqued correctly to the specified rating...and for ordinary circumstances (not racing) how one would be better than the other?
hey can you ACTUALLY believe that my steelies DIDNT have ball seats?
yet they worked for 30 years....
kinda mind blowing, dont ya think?
