What lugs to use for wheel spacer attachment to Trac?

[DiveDeep 07]

What lug nuts do I use to attach the 1.25" wheel spacers to my Trac? Then I use the special lugs for my wheels correct? Thanks, Gary

The studs on your wheel hubs have 1/2"x20 threads.



Your finish lugs (the ones that attach your wheels to the spacers) should match whatever thread that came with your spacers.

I already understand that, but which lugs do I use to attach spacers to my Sport Trac hub?!? Do I use the factory lugs to attach the spacers to the hubs or a different type? I am using Gorilla lugs for my wheels to attach them to the spacers. The factory lugs will be used for the spacers or not?

Deep, the spacers should have come with lug nuts.

They are a special short shouldered lug nut that you will need...

You also want to make sure they are hubcentric. So when you put the spacers on you can tighten them by hand to ensure the spacer centers on the hub.

DeepDive,



The factory lugs probably won't fit in the spacer holes. I seem to remember the factory lugs having an extra wide diameter, which in my case, kept them from being usable with the spacers.



Like Todd said, they should have requested that you specify the thread pattern of your stock studs - and sent you enough lugs to mount the spacers to the hubs. If not, you'll have to buy a set from an auto parts store. If your spacer studs are made with the same thread pattern as your factory studs, then you can use the factory lugs to mount your wheels to the spacers.



Good luck.
