early aftermarket rims crager american us indy all used shank type lug nuts with thin flatwashers . the washers are so the rims didn't get scared n chewed up for the lugnuts. yes the washer get bent by the lug hex . some have a deeper spot face for the washers to sit in , i've found that washer have two different od's 1 1/8 and 1 1/4 . the 1 1/8 bends up more then the larger ones . but an abody 4'' pattern is very tight on the center cone . could be part of the reason . putting some early vintage americans t70's14x6 3/4 , built special for the 4'' bc . lets see how it goes . just doing the noise like the 43ir its a 64 barracuda 15x8's steelies on the rear i built .
