As seen in the pics below, i need open wheel nuts but i need them to be super short. i had these ones from a set of bolt on spacers from years ago, but i need to get better ones, those ones sucked, as you can see by the rounding edges.
12 x 1.25 thread pitch.
i dont have a mic on my to measure the height, but with a tape measure they have to be no taller and ideally just a bit shorter than 1/2" in total height

they wont have them this short… normally they are 0.8" - 1.0" in total height.

Don’t bother trying CT… I’ll save you the gas, I work there… We don’t carry anything ‘high performance’ like that… I know, it kinda sucks… CT is just about everywhere, yet it doesn’t even carry most of the stuff we need…

a high end tire shop should have those. brafasco doesn’t really carry automotive fasteners so i would not try there. if you are in a crunch you could just grind down the top of the nut to the hight you want, run a tap though clear up the threads and you are good to go.
peace

just get the talls ones and just get someone that works on a lathe to turn it short… i had to do the same with my “closed end nuts” to make them open ended so i could still use them if i’m not running any spacer on my car so my nuts wont bottom out 🙂

I got some of those from parts source. I just told them the thread pitch and the size. There were like. 80 cents each I think. They were pretty short.
