The lengths of the lug bolts
used with cast wheels and
wire wheels vary. Mixing up sets
of lug bolts or using the wrong
lug bolts would mean that the
rear wheel would not be correctly
secured and this, in turn, could
result in an accident.
Use only wheel studs with the
same permitted length code
numbers. Do not lubricate the
lug bolts.
