[QUOTE="GordoJay, post: 1876271, member: 39584"] At ten feet long I'd expect the nut to flex and distribute the force. Can you give me some numbers that show how much more torque is applied to the stud with a 1.648" lever vs a 1.5" lever? Assume that the nut is torqued to spec and showing some reasonable assumption about how that affects the result, because I expect this to be the dominant effect. I do expect that the percentage increase in torque on the stud will be the same with a seated lug nut vs unseated. But is the magnitude significant? There's so much friction between the nut and the hole that very little force will be transferred to the stud. Unless I'm completely wrong. Which is possible. And I'd love to know how and why I've got it wrong. Seriously. I've never learned a darned thing by being right. [/QUOTE]
