Take 2 original nuts and put the faces together The tapered ones will fit without rocking but the ball type will rock against each other. Mine rock suggesting they are the ball type. Researching I can only find 12 mm size in the ball seat type. All I can find apart from the 12 mm are the taper or cone type. Further research suggests that the correct seat type is important for safe wheel mounting I am going to use the original rims , lug nuts and the correct 45 foot pound torque setting There is still some thread exposed with the nuts properly torqued and will back the lug nut up with a jam nut (a short nut ) to add extra security to the lug nut.
CORRECTION lug nut torque 48 foot pounds , that’s why the lug wrench is so short so you can’t put 90 foot pounds on them little wheel studs 😊
Yes no problem with tubeless tyres
Sunbeam Specialties lists lug nuts. I will call him today and ask if they are ball type. thanks to all for responses.
I have gobs of original lug nuts.....

That's also the part number for Alpine wheels starting with Alpine B9107251 and continuing thru all production.
Ian spencer did a document on the alpine wheels.
The info I posted as far as part numbers is what is listed in the parts manuals that came out of the Rootes dealership in Huntington, W. Va. The manual was printed in January, 1968. There were running changes to many parts probably due to changing vendors. I've seen some Tigers with reinforcement of the lug opening. If there was reason to buy a new wheel after the end of production of series Alpines and Tigers as I did when I hit two trees with the series 4 back in March, 1970 you ended up buying part number 71237218. It didn't have the knob to hold the hub cap. It had a ridge stamped into the wheel. There was another wheel available that was 13" X 5". I've never run across that wheel.
Cheating, cheater, McCheaterface... What, you don't want to join in with Kenny Rogers??? You picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel.......I have a set of four, date codes that are both 65 and 66. I have only and keep the enlarged lug boss ones.
The only way I'd use a set would be to have them widened and welded rather than trust old steel rivets.
But that'd be cheating right
What rivets are you referring to?I have a set of four, date codes that are both 65 and 66. I have only and keep the enlarged lug boss ones.

I have six 1966 wheels and all are welded from the factory.. Never have seen a riveted wheel... except on some BMC and TR stuff
