I wondered what was under the tarp, and was amazed to see this beautiful custom car--the flames are perfect. Some cars definitely don't lend themselves to electrification and a Bucket T (as I first knew this most classic of classic hot-rods) tops the list of those cars.
. Shoot, better safe than sorry.
@Robert_Alabama, haha because of your info I went ahead and ordered 5 lugs nuts for the infiniti spare donut and cost whopping $4.49
Thanks for the link !
It's a tight fit. Highly doubt it will fall out.
The problem I saw was that the hub depth for the Honda is like 1/4 inch. So contact for the OEM wheel is made from the area flush to the hub to 1/4 inch into the wheel. The Infiniti and Nissan wheels are designed for a deeper hub and are tapered significantly from the inner surface of the wheel until they are 66.1 mm well into the wheel. The 64.1 to 66.1 mm adapter slid down into the wheel so far before fitting flush that it would essentially be off the Honda hub before it got to the 66.1mm where it fit flush. I chose to mount the adapter flush to the inner surface of the wheel and fill the gap with JB weld to make the ring fit flush with the hub. If you take one of the OEM wheels off the car and compare it to the Nissan/Infiniti, you will see what I am talking about. With the wheel off, you can also see how shallow the hub is.
Looks like you pay more attention than me.
Even with a deeper adapter, I think the space near the surface would still be a problem as the inner area of the adapter would have nothing to support it. I think the idea of machining a 73.1 mm to 64.1 mm is likely to work if you can match the slope of the taper on the inner part of the Infiniti/Nissan wheel. Might be a little tricky.
Your exception preparation for the event of a flat tire was rewarded! Usually, your level of preparation generates the karma needed to prevent the event from occurring at all.
I don't know if the clock has already run out but if you can post some photos that would be great.
