Most wheels are drilled to accept the standard 60 degree conical acorn lug.

We use an ET style acorn, that not only has the 60 degree seat, but a .25" shoulder that reaches into the wheel providing more stud engagement, and reducing vibration.

We sell them for $1ea.

Do you have them for 1/2" studs? How would I go about ordering?

Jon, would you mind sharing what the OD is of the shoulder that drops through the wheel center below the conical seat? Are they the same for the 7/16, 1/2 and M12 nuts or do they vary? Sounds like an easy way to increase thread engagement without necessarily running extended studs in certain applications.

Tobin, Yes that is exactly right, and I use them on everything. Also, its the only lug we sell, and stock.

Yes, we have them for 1/2, 7/16, 12x1.5mm, and more.

OD is 0.61" fits 99% of the wheels out there. The shoulder is actually .33" long, to be technically correct.



To order them, just call. 1-866-694-5940
