Default Re: Where to buy Yenko style wheels?

Joe, if your wheels use the tapered seat lug nuts then those are the current style Americans and they must have been machined to clear the calipers if you are not running spacers. The distance from the back of the spoke to the mounting surface of the hub is 1/2" and you need 3/4" clearance for those 4-piston calipers. The early edition of these wheels when they re-released them in the mid 80's used a normal short shank type lug nut with washer that has been used for years on mag wheels. Sometime shortly after that they switched to the tapered seat lug nut due to problems with the lug nuts loosening up. Even the new Cragar SS mags made today will not clear them, which stinks as I was wanting to run a set on my car..............RatPack............. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]
