ive just measured up what i have and somethings occured to me. if the holes in the wheels are only 14mm, you cant use studs and nuts. a holes that small is for bolts. the holes for shank nuts is usually 19mm(3/4"), all the sets i have here are that diameter, except one which is 21mm. at 14mm youd only have 1mm of metal on the nut once the thread is cut! unfortunately, you need to drill your wheels out. not that hard to do with a decent pillar drill though. shank length isnt too important as long as they don't bottom out. in fact, looking at what i have here, they only come in 13mm or 1/2" length shank anyway. ive got a set of 20x chrome acorn head nuts to suit here once you do.  |

Thats a good point Dez
Thinking about it, if he's doing that he might as well just get a 60degree taper drill bit, drill to about 8mm from the bottom and use normal nuts?
I forget the proper name for a drill bit with a 60 degree taper, but you can get them.

hmmm thanks for the tips everone  I had a phone call off revolution wheels this morning and they're gonna ring me back if they can get some wheel nuts the right size lol. But been looking at using taper nuts and they could work if I got some with a smaller hex and sink them into the wheel alot as the standard studs are way too short. But with using taper nuts I can use wobble nuts to counter the pcd (these revo's are 4x4inch) If I drilled the wheels to accept a 19mm shank would there be a way to counter the 1.6mm difference? KFW - you has pm's |
