Wheel Bolts
Wheel bolts, also known as lug bolts, secure wheels to threaded wheel studs & axles for automotive manufacturing & maintenance applications. Raptor Supplies offers a wide array of Dorman& Earnestwheel bolts featuring carbon steel / alloy steel / steel construction for withstanding high torque & tension while preventing rusting in harsh environments.
Features
- These bolts are designed for maintenance and repair in locomotive applications.
- Wheel bolts or lug nuts thread onto a wheel stud, which is positioned semi-permanently in the wheel hub.
- They have conical seats with cone-shaped lug seats where the nut meets the wheel.
- These seats come with a 60 or 45-degree taper that aids in the centring of the wheel on the stud as it is tightened.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are lug hex nuts?
These types of lug nuts have a six-sided head. The heads are threaded onto the wheel stud to keep the wheel fixed in position. Hex nuts are made of chrome-plated steel, but variants constructed with lighter materials like titanium and aluminium are also available.
What are open-ended lug nuts?
Open-ended lug nuts have no closed ends and are threaded through the length of the nut. Owing to this design, the nut can be used on long wheel studs. Open-ended lug nuts are commonly used on race cars.
What is the difference between lug bolts and lug nuts?
When changing tyres, lug nuts are easier to work with than lug bolts because the wheels can be hung on the stud and tightened without the need to align two sets of holes, as with lug bolts. However, avoid damaging the threads of a wheel stud because replacing one is tricky. On the other hand, if a car's bolt hole with lug bolts becomes damaged, you may need to replace the entire hub.
What is a conical seat?
It is a common type of lug nut. This style is distinguished by its cone-shaped lug seat, which features a 60-degree taper that self-centres the lug onto the wheel when tightened.
