Author Topic: front runners install help Stangn5oh ¯ Member # 10875 posted                                 Ok i bought some front runners for my 5lug 89. My front rotors are from an 84 svo. Yes i know i need to buy/install longer wheel studs. My question is Is it me or does it seem like there is alot of play as if the studs are too small in diameter or the wheel hole diameter is too big? I also know i have to use " chronicle" or something like that lug nuts that taper in the wheel holes but is that it? Do i need some kind of ring to go inbetween the stud and wheel? http://m1170.photobucket.com/albumview/albums/olaquepasatelemundo/Mobile%20Uploads/CAM00186_zps15f313f8.jpg.html http://m1170.photobucket.com/albumview/albums/olaquepasatelemundo/Mobile%20Uploads/CAM00183_zps00cf3a1c.jpg.html -------------------- 88 lx 17 Renegade turbo 18 Compass 4x4 Hit the gasser, go faster, all u heard was dual exhaust n flowmasters.

You might need the long shank mag nuts. -------------------- WOLFPACK RACING With guns, we are 'citizens'.

Is the hole open all the way through or is tapered on the inside? Posts: 327 | From: Lost Coast | Registered: May 2011  |  :
