Rich,
Rich,
I know that quite a few folks upgrade to TR6 wheel studs; that might be
one option. I'm sure others on the list can provide details or other
alternatives.
With "original" Minilite wheels, the shouldered lug nut goes THROUGH the
wheel, nothing like the later Spitfire's (which is just a tapered nut with
a nice chrome head). You still might need a longer wheel stud to
accommodate the spacer, though.
