Torque Thrust lug nut issue
We then had an issue with the first adapters wheeladapter.com sent me. We had gone over the measurements a couple of times, and I had sent them the diagram, but the lip on wheel adapters they sent me was 76.3 mm in diameter but was only about 3/8 " - in other words it did not "reach" the section of the bore that was 76.3 mm.
Fortunately - and HUGE CREDIT TO WHEELADAPTERS.COM - they did another pair for me at no charge and got them done in less than a day after we got things squared away. Great to see a company stand by their work, no questions asked. (I did want them overnighted but they ended up sending them by ground - not a big deal as I just wanted to get the things done but was not up against a deadline or trying to get it done before a show or something like that). They ended up making a pair that had a 76.3 mm lip that was 1 1/8" "tall" so that it extends up into the 76.3 mm section of the center bore. Got them yesterday. Everything fits perfect now. I've put 50 miles on them and everything is staying together nice and tight, and no shaking.
OK, so I finally got this done. The folks at Wheeladapter.com were great. They required me to get the measurements, which actually proved to be a little of a PITA, and was also nervewracking because I wanted to get them right and wasn't sure if I was doing it correctly. Added to that was some confusion with American Racing's posted specs. They list the center bore as 83.06 mm, but the center bore actually has 3 separate widths, and the 83.06 is not the diameter of the widest part of the bore. See diagram and photo. American Racing was completely non responsive - you can't find a phone number on their website and they did not respond to an email I sent to their "help desk."
