Thread: Centerline Convo Pro wheel issue

Tweet

Byron for sure--its only an hour or so----they even let me into the tower!!!!!!!!!!good burgers too---will be on me!!!!

Here's what I cam up with............. Jerry, you're right the shank style lug nuts are .680. My studs are .680 where the wheel resides and are 5/8" at the threads. The hole openings in the wheel are .700. So if Centerline has a .700 hole and uses a .680 shank lug nut, I'm not seeing how my .680 stud isn't serving the same purpose as the shank lug nut. The only difference is my shanked area doesn't thread in. My threads are further out. Here are the specs on the lug nuts center line makes I will have to get for the front.

With all this being said, I do not see a problem with my set up. Centerline requires a .680 dia shank lug nut to be used on these wheels and these lug nuts use a flat washer to help spread clamping load. My studs have the same exact .680 dia and my nuts also have a flat washer behind them. I see no issue here once so ever.

Also the rear wheels will clear without a spacer which is good news. And I looked the wheels all over top and bottom as well as the box. They do not have a SFI rating on them anywhere. Any SFI part I've ever had there has to be a sticker showing what spec it meets and or has a date because that part has a time restriction as well. There isn't even a SFI spec machined into the wheel. And if you look on their site description for these wheels, it lists 3 wheels as being tested to a certain spec. My wheel isn't one of them.

And I badly need to clean the axles and calipers and touch them up. That stuff was all new not all long ago.

I'm glad everything is verified and the wheel clears the brakes---see you at Byron-----------

I'm glad too. Sending the wheels back and trying to pick another wheel wasn't looking like a fun option. I'll let you know when that shindig is up there. My brother thought about taking it to Nebraska next weekend, but we agreed the car needs too much work to get ready to rush over there right now.

Congratulations, Ryan! Looks like you went from the Village Idiot to the Prodigal Son in less than a dozen posts!!

I guess that's a part of hot rodding.
