 |
|
I just bought a set of Erco wheels. The holes in the wheels are tapered. I want to run stud/lug nut. I'm still running drum brakes so I can't use press in studs. Does anyone know where I can find a combo of the studs/lug nuts? Thanks in advance.
Mike

I have convo pros (wide 5) that I believe have what you are talking about.
I run screw in studs. The washers and lugs are cup shaped not flat. I don't know an exact size or place to get them. Maybe try airkewld.
Hope that helps.

The set of Ercos I have are drilled for 12mm studs and are not cut for a ball seat or a 60 degree acorn style lug. First off you need to figure out what style lug they are cut for.
Center Lines are cut for a ball seat to accept the stock lug bolts.
Ok, so you'll need you standard 12mm screw in lug stud. That we know. A 12mm 60 degree acorn style lug you can get just about anywhere. Now, if it's a ball seat, you can either use the (ugly) stock lug bolts, or locate some chrome ones. If you are looking for the race look of a gold cad open end lug nut, you are in luck. So. Cal. Imports has them. They just started carrying them. I just picked up a set a few weeks ago.
From them a set of studs and the 12mm gold cad nut will run you about $60.
Here they are on a set of Center Lines.
