    I have a set of Torque Thrust 1998 that takes the 3 5/8 part# 1055001 center caps I am going to put them back on again I never had any washers under the lug nuts, a friend of mine says I need them I have been using the flat flush lugs I called Wheel Pro who now owns American Wheel gave them all the information and since the ones that knew what was going on and knew the wheels no longer works there, they were absolutely no help Can someone tell me if they do or do not use washers under the lugs. Thanks

    A pic of your wheel mounting surface would help a lot. The set of TTO’s that I bought last year use a conical end lug nut, not sure when they changed from the straight lug with a washer. If your lug holes have a tapered hole, they take the conical nuts. If the lug area is completely flat, it probably needs the straight lugs with flat washers. Hope this helps.

  3. BamaMav is spot on. If your wheel have a flat spot faced circle you must use the correct flat washers. Beveled holes use standard style lug nuts.
