finally have the cragars on,and a few dumb questions

[andy74]

i have the 15x10s on the rear,goodyear 295/50 15s and they look really good,15 x7s on the front with 255/60 15s that also rock!!! found some decent deals locally that got me used wheels,new tires on the rear and almost new on the front-pics will follow in the am!!

now my dumb questions,with unilug wheels,is it normal for there to be some of the slot in the lug area to show even after the wheels are on?i really am not sure that the parts guys sold me the right lugs,and i am planning on driving my carto carlisle next weekend and dont want any issues-sorry to ask such a stupid question,but i have never had any unilug wheels so i am at a loss?

[dodge freak]

Not sure but go find a auto store that has all the lug nuts out in the open and look around, I know they make a buch of different ones. That sounds no good, I seen wheels break off before, I would try to find some other lug nuts. Did you call Jegs and or Summit ?

[andy74]

thanks freak, but i did check with jegs and summit, and its not very clear if i have the right shit or not!my local advance auto has a bunch of different combos,and the best advise i get from them is try these and we will refund you if they dont work!

Andy,

Are the rears the freebies you found in the parking lot? Got any pics?

Andy, it's been awhile since i've used a unilug type wheel but i do remember the washers being oversized to cover up the slot in the hub that is left exposed. I went to Summit and got a pic of the correct washer and lugnut for the unilug wheel. I suspect you have the wrong washers on yours from what you're describing.

You need the offset washers as well...
Just like in Ron's pic 

[John_Kunkel]

The unilug Cragars have small raised bumps on each spoke adjacent to the lug nut slot to keep the offset washers from spinning when the lug is tightened.
