Unilug Wheels

[jimjimjimmy]

Did anyone have a vibaration that was caused by unilug wheels like Cragar ?

Yes we did. Bolt them on and check them with a dial indicator. I myself will never buy unilug for my car.

I had an issue with a pair, that I was using temporarily, way back in the '70's. Wheel pattern adapters and unilug is two things I will never ever again employ. Of course at my age, 77, LOLOL, that might be an empty threat

My brother has that issue with his Duster. He installs one lug nut and washer then turns the wheel about 1/2 turn and does another. Continues until they are all done. It's pretty much trial and error.

Had a set on my 57 Chevy back in the day.
Came loose and sheared off 4 of the 5 studs.

I ran unilug Keystones on my Satellite for over a year circa 2012-13.

No issues.

My 73 Charger parts car also had unilug Keystones.

I've never run unilugs and I've never trusted them. Every time you bolt them on, they are in "a little" different position, due to the oval holes. Dedicated bolt patterns are much better.

not so fast my friend :
< I`ve been running a pair of 15 x 8 1/2'' wide unilugs on the back of my 68 fast back, Dana 60,Detroit locker, 505'',727, with 295 60 d15 hoosiers , ''8 1/2'' is the minimum'' for that size tire , Been about 7-8ish years now.
I cut down the long shank open end lugnuts from my weld Drag stars in my lathe to fit fully w/o bottoming out , have had NO vibrations or coming loose at all (supposedly 703 h.p.) by a ''18 time Wally'' holder freinds computer software, also the same results with the best h.p formula out there , but no dyno to back it up ....
The lugnuts fit pretty tite against the outer end of the unilugs holes .
What is wild about this is , a member on here gave the wheels to me for the price of shipping , he was in Florida at the time , he said they had been laying around his garage in the way for years and wanted them out of the way . I cant remember who he was , as I let them set around in my garage for about 71sh ? years before I decided to try them ...
A big thank you to him , hope he is still active on here and reads this !

I'm glad you've had good service from them.

they evidently are 4 1/4'' and 4 12'' unilug:
I think if they were against the inner (smaller,4 14'' ) part of the holes , it could be a diff story -----??//
