Don, THanks again. I'm trying to get a better sense of what you are saying. NO to tappered nuts, but what about the suggestion that John Hertog made about using the lugs with the longer shank that goes into the wheel itself? The weird thing is, if you look up the new Torq Thrust wheels (look alikes to mine) Jegs suggests using tapered lug nuts! Hopefully I can find a set of 1/2 lug nuts with the longer shank (under 1" in length) with matching washers to use on my wheels. Like these for example: http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ product_10001_10002_314236_-1 Brian On Jul 14, 2007, at 11:17 AM, Don Verity wrote: > Brian, > If you try and put tapered lug nuts on these wheels they will > eventually get loose and fall off, probably at a bad time. > They require the straight shank style lugs.
