Yes, what does that mean?

They aren't unilug. They're specific to your bolt pattern.

I found that it's from being recessed. First lug I do is the bottom one and I don't rotate the tire. Seems to keep the studs centered and things tighten up nice and even.

My first time with Cragars and the recessed, Acorn lug nuts

Good morning all.



Does seam like a great deal, but definitely want to be sure it will work. A lot of the old stuff is open cell and does absorb water. Cold storage dock doors were metal clad foam and would get so flippin heavy, springs couldn't be adjusted anymore and have to replace the door. That would be obvious just moving a few pieces. The raised patterns could make for a cool looking shop interior, (or could be a nightmare to line up in any way that made sense.lol) Even the ends of the full panels look like they might be patterns. Also, you could end up paying more to get rid of the scraps then the whole mess cost you...

Sounds like they are drilled wrong. You would think they would have a jig to lock in on each size. Not sure if you could even place the wheel over studs if pattern was a different size that would be 1/4" off.

Yep. Is he running 4 or 4 1/2" bolt pattern? Just curious.
 
If it is both sides I would find it hard to believe that both wheels would be drilled wrong. Now a question would be are they metric? I can't believe that either but just brainstorming here and I still bet the hub is just a little bigger than the hole. Just take a grinder around the inside of the wheels center hole
 
My first choice for dinner tonight was closed. But that's pretty normal here in Vietnam. Secondary choice, a nice little seafood restaurant right by the road but still pretty nice.

Scott when you put the wheel on see if it bottoms out flat on the drum before putting the lug nuts on. If there is the slightest rocking you may find the problem. The wheels should bottom out flat and solid
 
Here is another trick. Put a washer or two on each stud and see how they tighten down. If they do as they should then it is hub diameter

Yes, the front wheels on my Dart hit the balance weights. I tightened the nuts down and the wheel wobbled bad. :BangHead: :BangHead: :lol:

I drilled the welds and knocked the weights off. If there is an imbalance there I sure can't feel it.

If the studs don't line up with the holes in the rim you obviously have the wrong ones. Even if the center hub hole is wrong the wheel will still go onto the studs if they are the right bolt circle.

It does go on and it is just the last nut as he tightens it which says it is the last 1/32 or 1/16th it hits on something to twist the wheel

And I wasn't thinking the balance weights. I think that is a Bingo

Yeah hard to explain, I have even driven with them on, no issue. However a washer will not sit flat on the face to tighten correctly..............

If center was off the wheel wouldn't sit on flat to get 4 nutz on
