Lug nuts for TTIIs
Bought a set of TTIIs for lvrpool32 last night. He is keeping the lug nuts and I did not look at them when I picked up the wheels. What type of lug nut is to be used. It looks like a conical nut but does it have a shank also?

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll pick up a set today. They are definitly bigger and wider than what is on there. I'll have to see if they rub at all when I get the nuts. What a ride home. The GWB was backed way up. It took me over 1 hour on the Cross Bronx Expy. Narrowed down to 2 lanes for nothing!

I am running into the same problem. The nut has limited contact with the rim, just on the tapered seat which I feel can get mushed out with time. Before I mount my tires I am going to open the hole for a normal shanked nut and washer.
I want more contact area.

Those look better then what I envisioned. I thought of just the normal wheel nuts with no shank whatever.
I could live with those.

Go here in Summit racing. These are Gorilla nuts. Link did not work. But they are in Summits website with all the specs. I'm going to measure my hole diameters and see if these will work.
