    Please tell me how a shank type lug nut is going to change this situation here? The shank lug nut is centering the wheel on the wheel stud and takes up the gap from the wheel stud to the wheel hub area. A shank type lug nut also uses a flat washer under it's shoulder. Also, my wheel studs measure the same as a shank type lug nut. I've spoken with 3 different NHRA techs and they say the way I'm going to run it (Without a hub centric type spacer behind it) is how all the guys running these wheels is doing it with 5/8" studs and no one is having an issue with it. I also called Moser and asked them how others are doing it, and they told me the same thing. So, I can't see it being disqualified on a track, and that means we would have lost a wheel on the car by now street or track as this is how my previous wheels go on. I've never had an issue with the back wheels shaking or coming loose with the lug nuts being used here.

    So are you saying I need to drop back down to teeny tiny wheel studs and run a shank lug nut so my wheel studs can shear when I do a whole shot jacking around?
