Mcgard right part number, wrong lug?

[JeremyH]

So I went to order Mcgard lugs for my racestars part number is 63014 for closed end so with out thinking I ordered these...

McGard 63014 Chrome Extra Long 1.365" Shank Style Lug Nut Set (M12 x 1.5 Thread Size) - Set of 4


http://www.amazon.com/McGard-63014-...8&qid=1350483741&sr=8-1&keywords=mcgard+63014



But now looking back they have the wrong pitch I believe, looks like they have different pitches with the same part number??? WTF?

I just ordered these for my direct drilled race stars and they were fine for me. Possible that amazon mislabeled the item?

Calling amazon now... def the wrong pitch I dont have direct drill so need the offset washers as well, looks like the right ones come with centered washers.

(M12 x 1.5 Thread Size) is part # 63016, part #63014 is 1/2 x 20

Yeah so amazon has it labeled wrong. Ordered the right ones and have a return order in for the wrong ones which will be here tommorrow. Thanks guys. Crisis averted lol

On a side note fuck racestar lugs they are garbage. Was trying to put on my fronts last friday at the track for the first time and was putting them on by hand and 3 brand new racestar lugs on one wheel just free spun and never tightened down....

I had the same problem with Amazon, But i ordered rear 3" ARP wheel studs and they sent 3" front studs.

At least Amazon is super easy to work with. I always prefer buying directly from Amazon if possible rather than an independent dealer selling through Amazon.

I see you have it handled but I do have a full used set of McGard lugs with offset washers that I no longer need. I sold my Racestars locally and the buyer needed different lugs so he didn't want mine.

I run the McGard 63000

Just orderd the lugs, probably could use the offset washers though... planned on just using the racestar washers for now.

Those are open ended right?

The close ended ones will still work on the front?

I have 17x4.5's up front.

Yes, theyre open ended, I use them with my racestars.

I run the McGard 63000

Same that I used when I ran Race Stars.

I too use the McGard 63000. Even though open ended they do not look bad with the black caps installed.

And I certainly would not consider using Race Stars without long studs.

Took care of that one for you!

Well got them today and they sent me the the 63014 which are indeed the correct ones with 1/2 X 20 threads contrary to what it said on their site with the wrong pitch. Uggg... so I bought another set for no reason and still have them on the way....

Kinda off topic but are there any heavy duty washers that dont bend? Even mcgaurd ones bend after a couple of uses. I only torque them at 70-80lb too because they bend so easily.

Not sure the mcgard ones look twice as thick as the racestar ones. I have had no issues with the racestar washers they are all still fine its just the lug material on the racestar lugs makes the threads inside very weak.
