Thanks, I have two washers on some of mine maybe I should grind some more off the bottoms of the lug nuts.
Funny old life.

how many do you have on their Rogue, cos their ment to have one, so the nut don't bind into the mag unless you have tappered nuts cos then you don't need them
make it reliable, or smash it with a big hammer

The ones supplied with the wheels. 1 for each lug nut.

So, mock fitted up my new US Indy's to my Banjo diff (both HQ pattern) and had a bit of fun aligning the wheel to get the nuts on.
Now i realize it's because the back of the mag has a sorta stepped hub hole. ie, the first section is around 96mm diameter, and the second section that goes thru the whole wheel is smaller (pressumably the same as the hq hub)
but the HQ hub does not extend far enough out the drum face to mate up with the second smaller diameter hub-hole (as can be seen in the 2nd, photo, no hub can be seen in the wheel centre)
So the rear wheels are only being held on by the wheels nuts, whereas the stock rims are held on by the wheel nuts and the snug fit of the hub centre.
Is this a safety issue? do i need some hub rings? Why are the centre holes staggered in size?

Now looking at the front, where i have standard bedford setup, the bedford bearing cap does not mate up with the front wheels so it is only the wheel nuts holding the front wheels on. Is this safe? it must be as every bedford is like this. Are there different rules for front and back?

On the plus side of all of this, if this is all safe, the staggered centre holes will clear the front wheel bearing covers and i can look at the possibility of keeping the front drums, and re-studding them to HQ to do a simple and quick changeover.

Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks guys
looks alright to me

The 15x10's were $60 per rim, which i thought were quite reasonable

I'm guessing the 5 slots are nice and easy to polish, as there are no really fiddly bits, thats why it was pretty cheap. anything like hurricanes or hotwires would be a different story
