which wheels are they?
M/T pro5 race wheels (they no longer make them). I assume they locate off the straight shank on the nut but wondering what dia the nut needs to be relative to the wheel lug hole i.d. ... But it's never good to assume!
Lug hole i.d. Measures .687
Look like this:

I would call Summit or Jegs (or whomever is your favorite supplier) - I am sure the lug nuts are still available

@roccodart440....may have missed this so if you have posted it I apologize...specs? Tire sizes etc....please....if it's in a build thread on anything a link will suffice..Thank you Sir....
FWIW called M/T and they recommend this:
McGard 60127: Chrome Racing Style 0.490" Mag/Shank Lug 1/2" -20 Thread Size | JEGS
So I FINALLY got to mount my wheels w/ 26" skinnies today ... I measured 100x and knew it would be really close ... sure enough they just hit the corner of the fender in the front when I turn the wheel. GRRRRRRRR.
I can't for the life of me figure out why since everyone else seems to fit them w/ room to spare.
Anyway, suggestions on what to do would be appreciated ... I really love the setup and I think 24" tires just don't fill the wheel wells enough. First thoughts are to try to push the fender out or modify it but really don't want to go that route. Looked at suspension and just don't see how I could adjust to help.
Thoughts/suggestions??

Can you lengthen the strut rod and realign?
maybe I need to educate myself on your suggestion ... I've read about the adjustable strut rod but not sure I understand what is adjusts? I thought the LCA is fixed fore and aft on the k member?
