Re: Long axle - Spindle Covers for Forgestar Wheels
Here is an alternative solution to the now longer wheel hub:
1. 1st picture: The issue I found with the Forgestar Wheel is the axle sticks out past the wheel hub.
2. 2nd picture: Compare the flat Forgestar cap to the deep well Forgestar, it covers that extended hub $30.00
3. 3rd picture: Lug nut length: As mentioned the prevailing wisdom on how many threads is the MINIMUM to grab with a lug nut was as many as the diameter of the stud (about 5.5 for the 12 x 1.5 stud we have). Without replacing the studs, I discovered that extended lugs gave me an additional 4 threads beyond the lugs provided....that's nearly 63% more thread for only $24.00. These lugs are closed end and they work fine. Gorilla/Summit have both the acorn style and the slim fit you see in the picture.
Happy hunting
