copydat Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 does anyone know where I can get long 'shank' style floating wheel lugs? Similar to those on the Mk in the pic below but those would be regular taper lugs like these - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/like/181231248852?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=107 They may not be available and I'll just have to change all 24 studs on my 520... :( Quote Link to comment
Guest Rick-rat Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 How long does the shank need to be? open end lugs? Quote Link to comment
Rjawm Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Do you mean this style lug nut: But in a floater style with a free spinning contact point? I don't think they make such a lug nut. That would mean the entire shank would spin leaving little material to actually hold the rim in place safely. If this isn't the style lug you mean then I apologize for cluttering the thread. When I think of old style Turbine rims, I go to the old style "mag" lugs like the one in the picture. Edit: thought I throw in a pic of what I think Rick-Rat was talking about: 1 Quote Link to comment
copydat Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 yeah I knew it would be a long shot. Don't know the exact depth just yet as the front end has been upgraded using a Narvara D21 hub. Definitely not looking for open end lugs. Problem is, these Turbines have a tapered 'crush' washer that sits in the holes. Some have been painted over which is a real shame but the studs I have don't have the depth for these wheels - there looks to be enough space to get shanks fitted to ensure getting enough meat to turn down on.... I think to get these wide arse wheels on I'll have to get new longer studs made up..... Quote Link to comment
'70dime Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Man I just went through this same thing! The problem I had was the diameter of the lug hole on mine is 5/8" and the only lug nuts I could find were for 13/16". I found these guys, www.akhwheels.com, email them and tell them what you need. They take a min to get back to you but they'll have what you're lookin for. Quote Link to comment
