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. |

Do these have the proper "seat" for whatever wheels you're using? It's absolutely vital to get the correct shape, or all the clamping force that holds the wheel on will be on just a couple of very small surfaces... The stock wheels use round or "acorn" seats, I've seen conical ones on some aftermarket wheels, and I think some may even use flat seats. --DD |
