Racestar question...hardware

[grocerygetter]

you guys that have bought racestars it seems like you have to buy washers other than what they come with for the shank style lugs...correct? what to get? a link to Summit or Jeg's would be outstanding.

I ordered the lugnuts from racestar for mine. I have the dark stars, so the washers had to have a little bit ground off of the outside so they would fit inside the wheel.

That's what I am looking at...dark stars. How much you have to grind? I don't mind grinding them a bit...just not more than 1/8" or so preferably or I will just order proper ones.

It didn't take much grinding at all. It is just the thickness of the coating. The washers fit fine if the polished wheels. Racestar said there were not aware of the problem with them until I told them about it about 3 weeks or so ago. They said that they were going to send some of the washers off to a machine shop to get taken care of, but I don't know if they have yet or not.

Oh heck..that's easy then. Thanks!

[Travis104]

No problem. Hope it works out well for you.

I think I am doing the 17x4.5 out front with a 18x10.5 out back. Bias ply skinny with 305/45 mt drag radial. I've cut 1.49 and a bunch of 1.5x with them...no reason to change.
