Budd nuts

Maybe @SmallPackage has some info.

 

It'll take decades before it ruins the wheel but the pits made from corrosion can be sanded/polished out if it bothers you too much.

 

Never seen those before. I know some makes like ford used a similar looking one for front wheels but it had a collar that went down in the wheel hole. That was because ford used the same smaller dia studs on front as the rear. Being a two piece I’d be worried the ball seat would get stuck in the seat of the wheel when nut is removed. Being thicker then the standard nut you may need longer studs since most studs just barely stick out a thread or two. Like you I do think it may be a good thing to give a try. They may be good to use.

 

Also just a thought. Being two piece like the new hub pilot wheel nuts Torque may need to checked more often then standard nuts. I assume with the “R” in the part # they have an “L” for lefty threads as well.

 

If there for a piloted wheel, I’ve use 3(in triangle) on front steers. My tire guy says it keeps the wheel more centered. On my current truck, I haven’t used them yet. What website are you finding them at ? I can’t seem to find them in eBay nor amazon.
