Stag wheel nuts are 7/16 thread same as some Dolomites, but a lot of Stag wheel nuts are made in steel so less chance of stripping, to fit a Stag wheel nut to a Dolomite wheel you need to machine the wheel collar a bit as they don't fit a dolomite wheel, i know it works as i tried it myselfian.stewart wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2024 9:36 pm Deffo not flat seat, the seat within the nut hole is 45deg taper, whereas most taper seats are 60degs, after talking to Compomotive today the thought the wheels would have had a 45 degree taper insert with a internal 60 degree taper, now you have confirmed they have no inserts in the sprint wheels, Im going to grind up a counterbore and make the wheels fit the dolly sleeve nuts and not use inserts
