[T3] lug nuts/bolts for mags


Keith-
Don't forget the clamping force of the lug nuts/bolts to resist the
torque.
When I was into the chevys, most all of the aftermarket/racing wheels
used straight bore holes for the lugs, but you had to use lug nuts
with a shaft that fit into the wheel lug bore (tight clearance), with
a washer under the lug nut shoulder.  I ran these wheels for years on
my 400hp (13 seconds on street tires and thru the mufflers) street car
without any problems!!  And you can't treat 400hp nicely ;)  It just
itches too much!!
The Porsche wheels on my Fasty use the spherical nuts, but the wheel
is located with hubcentric bushings (which I made).
Lug nuts have to match the wheels.

PS...just wishing it would run right now...still need to find another
carb or an accelerator nozzle to fix the one I have.
