I have a set of the new stock steel replacement wheels on my 1963 Avanti. These are the ones that Bob Helm in Texas used to sell in the Turning Wheels. I believe they are a MOPAR wheel that has the advantage of being slightly wider than the stock Avanti wheel, plus they were originally engineered to handle a radial tire. Bob stopped selling these new wheels a few years ago, when the number was obsoleted by the wheel maker.
O.K.....here's my question: These wheels have a 9/16" hole for the mounting studs. Will the stock Stude lug nut work on these MOPAR wheels? Remember, these are NOT the Ford wheels some guys are using.
I know the stock Stude lug nut has a 45 degree seat angle (bevel on the nut). I'm wondering how this bevel compares to the bevel on the mounting holes of these replacement MOPAR wheels. Bob Helm sold tons of these wheels, so I'm assuming someone has already tackled this subject. Any help will be appreciated...greatly. Thanks. John
