Are your lugs too long?

It's going back a few years but I used to have a 70 Road Runner with Weld Draglites. I do recall them being a bit of a noisey rim.

Aluminum bends pretty easily. You might be hearing them move around.

ORIGINAL: mustangguy82

they click because they dont get torqued down and the center just flops inside the hollow spokes

im thinking this is the case, as when ever i have taken the wheels off (2-3times sence ive had the car to look for this noise) ive only tightend them as hard as i could with a tire iron.



they used a huge tourqe bar, but im not sure what it was set at when they put the rims back on my car.



I HAVE HAD NO CLICKING SENCE THAT DAY THEY PUT THE RIM'S BACK ON



sence these rim's are light weight/thin, is it possible that tighting them so tight might be bad for them?


im going to shoot Weld racing a e-mail right now, asking them the proper size lug nut, about if they will crack/break if i tighten them to tight, and about the clicking.



ill let you know what they tell me when ever they get back to me.
