Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
“A” is big at 1.288, compared to 1.225 of my stock accuride wheels.Compare yours with the dimensions shown below...

It seems to me that Ø "B" is within specs but Ø "A" is definitely too big...?
FWIW, "A" is 1.22" for the wheels on Deuces and M37s, and around 1.28" on HEMTT and FMTV wheels.
Since we are talking about stud-piloted steel wheels, even that little chamfer will be sufficient to center the adapter to the hub. But then when torquing down to 350 ft-lbs the nuts may start deforming that narrow seat, depending on how soft that steel is.
Just check your lug nuts frequently!
Not a problem.“A” is big at 1.288, compared to 1.225 of my stock accuride wheels. .......
Good; that means you (or a machinist) can still modify them for the correct chamfer. Not a big deal - if you have the right tool.“B” is small at 1.33, compared to 1.5 of my stock accuride wheels.
Recheck your torque, ASAP, and if you get a chance, zip one of your nuts off and snap a picture for us.WCR is where I got mine from, I haven’t had a problem but I can’t remember if there was any chamfer.
...... and slight deformation in the nut. .................
I think 450-500 is pretty standard.don't think id be comfy with that sharp edge or torquing the lugs to 500, i think the lugs are only supposed to be around 350 and the sharp edge may concentrate the force and deform lowering the torque, could lead to a cascade failure and launch a wheel after popping the studs...
