Default Re: Drive it until the wheels fall off

You dont need larger lug nuts. The taper in the wheel wears and the original nut taper seats on the hub before the rim tightens.
I know the is a member on here ( I. think. ”35fordtn” )that sells special lug nut washers that simply deform when tightening the lug nuts and take up any wear allowing perfect tightness. The washers are quite cheap.
