[Spridgets] Alloy lug bolts?

[Rick Fisk]

Chuck,

In my meager little collection of spare lug nuts I found three different lengths and three different diameters.  Not to mention two different types of washers.  Mini Mania has other sizes available too.

The shank of the nut on the left is .678" in diameter and .810" in length.  Next lug to the right is .628" in diameter and .810" in length.  Third one is .620" in diameter and .615" in length.  Far right is .620" in diameter and .540" in length.  One washer is flat and the other has a tapered face.   Size matters and you need to get the right size lug nuts for your wheels.
