I have a question regarding lug bolts.
How much available thread engagement do you need after the bolt passes throught back of the wheel mounting surface? I have a set on my western wheels that is a lot longer, the shank has about 1/2 or so of non threaded surface, flat face washers on them. The others that I have on my enkies could be stock for ?? steel wheels, alloys? it's a ball seat, fully threaded and protrudes out of the back of the wheel about 1/2 or so. |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) Just went thru all this the last couple of days--ordered bolts for my wheels and they sent me a full set of 16, all front sized (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) I do not know what it is that these suppliers cannot get it into them that the rear bolts HAVE to be longer. That disc hat uses up much needed threads--
Finally went to NAPA--the king of parts--I am convinced they have everything--and finally got the long bolts for the back end--in stock in a sh*t hole store!!!! Bad thing is by the time I use my gas and time I would have spent more than what I paid for the wrong bolts--I am just going to have to eat it. At least now I can finally get my car off stands...
