wheel nut turns

[Matt e]

does anyone know the minimum number of turns the wheel nut should turn to be safe

ive fitted spacers and fitted longer studs, im getting 12 complete turns buts theres about 3-4mm left of the nut when done up all the way

theres 18mm thread of the stud engaged with the nut 12 x 1.5 = 18mm

I'm sure when i was at McLaren they used to work by a minimum rule of 7 full turns for a bolt to bite fine.

 

[Kieran527]

rule of thumb is minimum 1.5 times the diameter of the stud/bolt

Theres a guide on Ktec site i think it was, saying desired stud length to size of spacer

 

[bashracing]

MSA standard is as Kieran says 1.5 time thread diameter,
safe is anything above the stud diameter really,

@Budgie were you in the F1 side or road car projects ?

Bought some longer studs to be on the safe side anyway
