Reccomend replacing lug bolts with wheel studs and nuts?
 

I have a Cub Cadet Original, and I bought dual wheel adapters for it. The original lugs are too short, and they won't go through the wheel. I tried finding lug bolts that would be the correct size but I can't find any. Should I try replacing the lug bolts with wheel studs and lug nuts so the wheel adapters can reach? It might even be easier to replace the wheel and tires too.

Won't hurt a thing.

Do you think I could use regular bolts with lug nuts as opposed to wheel studs since I have some of those lying around?

I have used regular 7/16-20 bolts, screwed in from the back. But I had to grind just a little under the head because the threads didn't go completely to the head. I am talking just something like 1/16" or so. Look at your bolts and you will see what I mean. Other than that,they worked fine. I have also used 7/16-20 all-thread/threaded rod with a thin jam nut in the back behind the flange. I found the 7/16-20 all-thread at Fastenal.

Or to keep from grinding, put a washer under the head. The bolt method won't work on later tractors with disc brakes.

I put studs on a 149 I used to own. Got the studs, jam nuts and lug nuts from McMaster Carr

94846A520 jam nuts
98750A474 Studs
4991T964 lug nuts

Those make so much more sense than the bolts that IH used.

I'm thinking of doing this too. I am assuming the jam nuts are only used on the back side of the flange so the rim sits properly?
