Title: american racing le mans wheels Post by: beatnik beetle on June 22, 2011, 10:12:33 am OK...I have a lovely restored set of the above to go on our garage find 67 that we worked on back in 94 ( 120k miles from new) been in a garage since 97 ;)..but, I would like to ask the wealth of knowledge on here about wheel bolts for them - I must admit that the easiest way looks to be to machine out the bolt holes to use a more common bolt or stud/nut combo but, if something else is available then even better..I'm sure a few of you have run these wheels in the past..
Thanks..Simon Title: Re: american racing le mans wheels Post by: Bryan67 on June 22, 2011, 21:51:38 pm I had some on my 67 for awhile. I took them off because they would flex on corners though. I just drilled the lug holes out so i could use regular mag type lugs.

Thanks guys..Simon Title: Re: american racing le mans wheels Post by: Neil Davies on June 24, 2011, 08:57:14 am I knew I'd seen another car with them! :D Bryan Fye has a set on his notch - he might be able to say how he fitted them.
