Hi all,
I need 16 wheel bolts for some old American Racing wheels. Anyone got a set they'd like to part with?  The American Racing wheel is on the left (you knew that). The other wheel is some sort of EMPI knockoff, which uses 14mm radiuses lug bolts. TIA Pat |

This is the wheel before I had it glass beaded. The distinguishing feature of these wheels is the lack of any chamfer or countersink at the wheel bolt holes. Thus, they ran with a heavy washer under a standard bolt.
I was going to countersink the holes to accept a standard US 60 degree taper, with a 14mm bolt. But my drill press is only 5-1/2" deep, where it needs 6"+ to clear the wheel. I hate that. So, I look for bolts.  |

Then they run the same stud and through lug nut that my gurney wheels do.
Sixnotfour laid out what you need. |

For reference, this is what the Gurney bolts look like.
It would seem that if you installed studs as suggested and then had proper sized bushings to play the part of the shoulder it might work.  |

My gurney wheels came with studs and shouldered lug nuts vs bolts. Never seen your wheel bolts before. @jrmdir

I am assuming Gurney wheels are not the same as these American Racing wheels. These AR wheels have a 14mm hole for the wheel nuts As such, a 0.670 Weld sleeve will not exactly fit well into a 0.556 hole. I am guessing the original AR wheels had a 14mm bolt, with a non-threaded shank in the wheel, and some sort of hardened washer.
I found a bigger drill press. I will countersink the holes with a 14mm radius and be done with it. That way, I can use the same lug bolts. |

QUOTE(Van B @ Jan 21 2022, 09:00 PM)  Never seen your wheel bolts before. @jrmdir Those were what the wheels came with. There are several threads about them being hard to find now. Also discussions about the wheels being added by dealers back then to jack up the profit. With these bolts there was no need to add studs, void warranties, etc. See posts 9 through 12 here: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=159529 Ron |
