Motorwheel flies on 5/8 studs
Has anyone put a set of flies on 5/8 studs? if so, how did you do it. Don't have the wheels at the shop but measurement I have for lug hole is .762. The unthreaded portion of the stud is around .68. Thought about cutting he shank off the lugs and boring to fit the stud but hate to ruin the lugs. Or have bushings made to fit stud? Any other ideas.

Re: Motorwheel flies on 5/8 studs
When I used Motor Wheel Flys I had machine shop make a set of spacers, used flat washers and nuts. No problems, just check the torque occasionally.

Re: Motorwheel flies on 5/8 studs
That seems to be the best Idea. I just thought I would check to see if I was missing an available solution I didn't know about.

Re: Motorwheel flies on 5/8 studs
Hello Stewart;
I have done this as I run the "Fly's" on my car. These are the three ways I did it starting from easiest/cheapest to hardest/expensive. 1) Go to a hobby store and pick up a 3' piece of brass tubing that is .750 O.D. and .6875 I.D. Cut it to desired length. The part number I have for it is K+S9225. Really easy and works great. $20.00. 2) Get some stainless,same O.D. .625 I.D. Machine it to .6875. Cut to length. This was painful. 3) Have the wheels bushed at a machine shop to fit the M/W studs. I did this with a set that the holes were no longer round. Works well but it cost me $300.00. Allan |

Re: Motorwheel flies on 5/8 studs
I have access to a lathe so I guess I will make some spacers. Just didn't want to miss out if someone had a solution that was just a slip/press on. Thanks

Re: Motorwheel flies on 5/8 studs
If you have access to a lathe, the easiest thing to prob do is to take the 5/8 aluminum wheel spacers and neck down to fit hole, and step back just shy of the thickness of the wheel. Double as a locator/spacer...just my thoughts.
