Re: Lug Nut Question on AP Torq Thrust-Style Wheels??

[MO <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe this question was asked--Are the holes in the wheel somewhat
bigger than the diameter of the studs? If  so, you have to use lug
nuts with a shoulder that will extend down inside the hole in the
wheel.  That shoulder will have threads in it , so that almost the
entire length of the stud is inside the nut........................MO

I couldn't find exactly the length I needed so bought longer ones and cut them off to length using a whizzer.  I used the acorn style nuts that came with the wheels. Made sure I left them long enough so 90% of the threads in the nut are engaged.  No problems in 3 years and several hundred miles.
