60-62 rear lug nut bolts

I put some 1/8 wheel spacers on the rear of my truck and am a little worried about the length of the lug nut bolts. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a longer version of the same bolt.

Does thread from the stud protrude through the nuts when they are installed? If so, you don't need longer studs.

no they don't. I have a standard type lug nut on there right now and the bolt is about 1/8 in from being flush with the nut

Re: 60-62 rear lug nut bolts

You will need at least a full nut.. I got mine that long because I added disc brakes and thicker aluminum wheels. They have all lengths, just make sure they don't try and sell you metric threads..

Re: 60-62 rear lug nut bolts

The rule of thumb is that there should be as much thread penetration as the diameter of the bolt, so yeah, you need longer studs. Should be easy to source at most auto parts stores.

Re: 60-62 rear lug nut bolts

try a local wheel shop and see if they have "ET" style lug nuts . See if they will work on your rims
