The Total Dumbass

that I am.

I email Centerline to find out the torque values for the Convo-Pro's on my maro... She email's me back "What's the thread size" - I email her back "The thread size of what?" - She emails me back... "Lets start simple... what kind of car do you have?"

Jeez.

What in the hell is she talking about??? I thought that certain rims only fit certain hubs (or whatever the hell the thing the lug bolts stick out of is called).

I know nothing about cars... I'm gonna go home and drink myself into oblivion.

Earlsfat your honesty is commendable. If she's asking about thread size, she has to referring to the thread pitch of the wheel bolts/nuts. I'd have to check, but I would be suprised if they were something other than 1/2 X 20.

why would she need to know that?

If he's asking what the lug nuts should be torqued to, the actual thread size/pitch would probably make a difference on the final torque yield.

It would have nothing to do with whether or not a wheel would fit a car. Unless the wheel studs were too wide to fit through the rim. Bolt pattern and backspacing/offset are the main things to be concerned with when considering what rim will fit.

They want to know thread diameter & pitch. Torque is determined by that and type of material the bolt, nut or stud is made from.

like that
