Crager supertrick lug nuts

[mechanic190]

I just picked up a set of supertricks and I am trying to order some lug nuts for them. What size shank should I get? Everything I have seen point to 1 3/8 long shank but measuring it the wheel measures 1 3/16 Wouldn't the 1 3/8 be too long? I'm looking at buying these here shortly and they need to be open ended for 3 inch studs 1/2 - 20.
Thanks in advance
Brad

just measure how deep the lug hole is.

Don't forget the washer thickness. I haven't had a set since the 70's but the 1 3/8" sounds about right. Double check your measurement just to make sure what you have.

If this is your first set, make sure you check lug torque on a regular basis. I actually ran my front's on the street for a time and they will loosen up on occasion. Not to mention the creeking on turns.......

I ordered the 1.380 or the ones that I could find info on going off gut feeling since it seams my mac digital calipers aren't very accurate and a tape measure is hit or miss but i'm gonna say the tape is more accurate.

Good luck M190, let us know if they work.
Thanks, Rick
