Face Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Ok I got some new tires and rims from RMatv and they line up to my hubs and slide right on. The problem is the cavern for the lug nut isnt big enough for my lugs. and its too small to get a wrench or socket on it. Does anyone know anything about this. They are ITP rims.

THE GRIM RIPPER Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 You got those four spoke wheels? I hate them... but anyway, you have to use a thin wall socket to get in there. An impact or beefy socket wont work.... but you knew that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there longer lug nuts somewhere??? mine are 1.25" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Face Posted October 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 what size wrench do your lug nuts require? 9/16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcardracing Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 I was curious if you had the larger hew nuts (17mm instead of 14mm). I have never messed with the ITP's, you may have to call R-M and see if they require special lug nuts. I think they may be the ones that require the shouldered nuts. Lucky thing is you'll be driving right past there on your way to the dunes...lol Doesn't look like we're going to make it out this time.

spurdy Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Try a 14mm socket. 9/16" isn't the right one. I have the same rims (and I hate 'em, they are way to heavy) and I've never had an issue. The stud is 8 mm x 1.25 mm. Everything on the banshee is metric including the studs on the wheel hubs.

magz Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) Try a 14mm socket. 9/16" isn't the right one.

SP what spurdy said, anyways i have the same ones, ITP C Series rims on my sand star set of tires., it should just take a 14mm socket, my stocker rims have washers on them and i cant fit the washers in the cavern of the ITP-C rims but its all good. I went to lowes and baught 16 new nuts in 8mmx1.25 in stainless and they look good on there. Edited October 15, 2008 by magz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtcc Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Same thing with me. I have the Hipers on the front but I have to use a very thin walled long 14mm socket to get to them. There is pretty much no room, and I have no idea what I will do if one strips. It is gonna be a PAIN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F.BEJARANO Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 rmatv sells these lug nuts on their site. they are the itp flat base lug nut. http://www.rockymountainatv.com/productDetail.do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Thanks for the input everyone. It turns out I did need the tapered lug nuts. I got them coming from RM they are a 14mm head but the thread is 10mm not 8mm like someone said. Anyway thanks everyone for the input!

I got them coming from RM they are a 14mm head but the thread is 10mm not 8mm like someone said. Anyway thanks everyone for the input! You know, I think your right. I think they are a 10mm stud. But, be careful with the tapered lug nuts. I am 100% positive that my C series rims take a flat lug nut. If you use a tapered nut and it should be a flat you will likely f**k up the threads on the stud when you take it off. The cone of the taper will compress at the end around the stud. Just check them out when they come in. Good luck. SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
