whats the difference between: Both are long shank style. Not sure which one 1.25RH or 1.50RH... not sure what RH is? :/
12mm x 1.25 RH Closed End Nuts w/Centered Washer

12mm x 1.50 RH Closed End Nuts w/Centered Washer

I would assume that "RH" means right hand threads

difference between 1.25 and 1.50? not sure which to go with

 

[Hawgman]

Pretty sure the stock lug nuts are 1.5

The lug nuts I used for my Weld Draglite's were 1.5"...

ANyone try any of the other Summit xxx-5866PS for rears? The 541-5866PS are listed, but what about like the 531-5866PS for example, with the same specs?

Also, a thread for which tires, both DRs and slicks, people are using or recommending on the recommended 15" rims would be helpful.

Edit: looking at the other similar Summit wheels, only the 541-'s are "designed for tires with a maximum diameter of up to 28 in". And some have different bore diameters, although no diameter is listed for the 541s

Now we need a sticky for what TIRES to put on these rims!!! Or are the choices THAT many. DR's or slicks, knowing some choices would definitely help, especially in what people have used or have had issues with, if any.

There's a lot of posts on DRs, but not as many about slicks. (yes, I've searched and read.)

JEGS SPORT STAR CAST WHEELS

Front : 15x4 W/ 1.75 BS , PN: 555-67051 , 3/8" Spacer ,PN: 555-65051

These fit with no grinding on my calipers. Were these the ones people said need grinding?

I just bought 1 Jeg prostar and 1 Jegs draglite and spacers to see which ones fit. I would like the draglites to fit. Seems only one guy tried the draglites and had to use a spacer,grind and use longer studs. Either way however I get either wheel to fit I am going to post pics of my calipers and items used on my 06 GT because it seems each person has a different experience however slight with these wheels depending on year and calipers etc. Should have results by tomorrow.

That's what I have Dex. I had to do some grinding to get them to fit. I also had to do some grinding on the rears to get them to work. My car is a VERY early production 05 (manufacture date 11/04)

I have an 06 so maybe thats the difference? I checked and double checked the fitment. no touching anywhere. Tis a tight fit though...

what lug nuts you using dex?? and how do u get them on with such a tight clearence in the hole?

Same lugs I use with my street wheels. Conical style. They arent huge like the stock ones.

Go to your local tire store for some. I just got some open ended ones for my rears because I had to put longer studs in for the bogarts

I just wanted to say thanks to the people who put this together. I got some summit stars(521's) in a 15x8 and ran them for the first time yesterday. They weigh 20lbs and the 275/50 MT ET Street Radials I have for them weigh 31 for anyone who wants the weights.

i had to grind mine down and even with the 3/8 spacer it still locked on the caliper so i had to use an 1/8 spacer on top of the 3/8spacer...
