If I understand correctly all aluminum wheels need a steel plate under the mounting lug nuts. Since the wheels I want to run on my lakester are factory production Ford held down by a tapered lug nut I was planing on holding the wheels on by using one inch hex lug nuts. The wheels are the ones used for the spare tires on the Mustang GT they are spun aluminum disks with a series of holes around the outer face and are welded to the aluminum rim completly. The studs I use are long so adding a steel plate above the lug nuts is possible. But adding this plate and five more nuts above the existing nuts could possibly add a balance problem at speed. Is that the proper way to mount these aluminum wheels?
