American Racing lug nuts - rare size?

[kenikh]

I have two sets of American Racing wheels and only one set of lug nuts. I've measured them out and can't find anything online that will fit:

Pitch 14mm x 1.5
Shank diameter .685"
Shank depth .650"
Washer diameter 1.190"
Washer thickness .185"
Overall length 1.5"

The killer seems to be the thread pitch to shank diameter relationship. M14x1.5 @ .685" doesn't seem to exist, where it is actually super common for M12.

I don't care about originally. I just need something that fits. Does anyone have any insights to share?

Have a set custom machined? Plenty of vintage Alfas, old Rolls, etc need NLA parts and they get them made. Maybe Bernie's old shop VRM in Redmond can make them or knows who can.

If anyone will have these, Massey's will. They are THE place to look for obsolete wheel accessories. No web store, you'll need to call them.

If I understand your post I had a similar problem. For a variety of reasons I added 15mm wheel spacers to my rear wheel hubs. Obviously the standard 45mm lug nuts were too short and I needed 60mm lug nuts instead. I couldn't find what I wanted anywhere in the USA, perhaps because I didn't look in all the right places.

But I stumbled across an outfit in jolly old England, Merlin Motorsports, that had what I needed and virtually any size you might need. Google them. 10 studs with shipping was somewhere around a hundred bucks, certainly as cheap as having them made. Nice folks to deal with as well.

Sears carries a 14mmx1.5 for crager ss item number SPM11892665419 and 20 with shank are $64.33. Maybe these might work for you and if not maybe they carry something else?

I found them through a post here and obtained lug nuts for a set of old BBS wheels.

I thought they had the fitment! Then I read the fine print. Will try again.
