I have measured at the stud itself and seen a 5mm difference in engagement. I didn't base measurements off that protrusion at the hub. Are your ET's open ended lugnuts? If close ended just gotta make sure the stud doesn't bottom out inside the head of the nut.
Ya, they are closed ended. They haven't bottomed out. I have about 37mm from open end to top of the lug.
I just was using a small 5mm spacer and tried those ET shanks a couple years back and they worked. I am going to be trying the 8mm and 10mm spacer tomorrow with those same lugs.
Oh cool. Can you send a link for the shank lugs you are using ? This may be the solution to my long national nightmare. Also interested in whether the 8mm fits without the shanks. I have a set of 8mm ready to go.
you need to confirm the opening of the lug hole in your wheel first. Without that data you are blindly purchasing stuff. You can google ET Shank 14x1.50 lugnuts. They fit into Momo and Forgestar but did not fit into Konig for me.
Ya like P3D-R said, measure the hole of the wheel first. These are the ones I currently have 20PC BLACK 14X1.5 THREAD EXTENDED (ET) STYLE CLOSE END WHEEL LUG NUT 3/4'' HEX | eBay.
don't buy from that link. It's not the right diameter. You need M14.
LOL ya I noticed that after I bought them. Ooops.. I canceled... I thought they were M14. I still have my current ET lugs that I use. Those will have to do for now.
I've actually measured all of these and compared them to the H&R ones. They don't have much wall thickness so that's what scares me with the amount of torque we have. I need to speak with the companies to see about t. The H&R ones have very little to no slop in the oem opening along with the thicker wall of the shank. There's so many things about the Tesla that are different which do concern me. If it's just a street car that is not pushing hard then it should be fine. Any thoughts?
I would think so. I had an 8mm on my OEM lugs and kinda chickened out but that was when the 20mm was an option for me. Traverse Ridge indicated it should be fine and I trust them. I asked them this week again. They said they have people tracking with the 8mm on stock lugs. If these ET lug nuts fit that would eliminate my concerns and if it opens the door to a 10mm even better.
Nice. I wonder if you could get a 10mm on there.. Traverse ridge will machine custom spacers for the M3P hub lip. My 8mm set has the lip machines. Very reasonable prices as well.
Since you can use a 5mm on the M3P and if these extend by 8mm, and assuming I’m not an idiot at math, seems like you could definitely get a 10 on there as well. Right?
You can run 265/30 on the 20x9 ubers as well if you want to retain your speedo and range accuracy.
