KMC wheels

[DoWorkXJ]

What's everyone using for lug nuts on their KMC beadlocks? The wheels are so thick, and the lug nut holes are so narrow that I need to get long shank style lug nuts. Stock 7/8 style for my 9/16×18 studs are way too big. In a pinch for time and looking to see what everyone uses. Thanks!

My dad's jeep had those on his old set of beadlocks, the biggest pains in the ass to get started sometimes.

These might work, but with the thicker flange, the studs don't leave but 2 or 3 threads to engage, which is why I had to use the ones I posted. KMC and Methods have a 1" flange (don't know about the others)

I don't think those would work on mine Brad, I'll pull one off when you're not looking to check next time we ride together!

I think that's exactly what I need. Can you provide a link, please? Also, what size head do those have? 13/16"?

Thanks

Re:

I bought them from DRM on here.
The new ones are open not closed top.
Let me see if he'll chime in

should be able to run normal spline lugs. we run those on all aftermarket wheels we sell. not sure if they make an ET style lug that is spline though.

Re:

Ugh. Hate spline lugs nuts.

You can get 3/4 hex size long lug nuts just like that and not have to deal with a stupid special socket

are those 9/16 thread? are they also the right taper? (or are your wheels custom drilled?)

it was hell trying to find the right taper lug nut for my Methods. I ended up only finding ONE kind. 9/16 stud 45* taper is tough. 5/8 is easy...but not 9/16

the ones i found are giant...and required me to shave down a socket to fit over it and still turn without hitting the hub. They could be much smaller...but they arent.

oh i see DRM now -

Do you offer a 9/16 thread 45* taper lug nut that has a head that is smaller than like a 1 1/16? that is what I have now and it SUCKS to get them on and off...1/4 turn at a time

I thought those wheels would be a 60 degree taper?

KMC might be, but Methods are not (unless custom drilled)

the guy I quoted mentioned he used them on Methods so I was just jumping in...sorry for hijack confusion!

Re:

Mine in the picture are actually 1/2-20 since that's what was on my D60s running Methods.
Broady's are 9/16 on his D60s running KMC's. His are open but with same style

Edit...
Found out he needed them to run racelines before the kmc

Oh I see! I'm still looking frantically online. Really need that little extra thread engagement from the ET's.
