1966 Dodge Coronet 500 Lug Nut Length

[Daniel Krause]

Hi all,

Just ordered Torq Thruts II's for the Coronet, which is currently at the body shop prepping for paint.
I was planning on replacing the left hand thread lugs, and then wondered if the new wheels, which are replacing the stock steel wheels with wheel covers, will require lugs of a longer length than stock? Anyone with Torq Thrust II's care to chime in?
TIA

Thanks, Fran. Interesting read. I'm using the stock 10" hubs (knocking the hub out of the drum, and converting to discs, in an alternative to the normal big brake upgrade). Might have to do a "trial and error" route with the lug studs....

Here's some directions on removing studs. pictures aren't in order.
