So can i use these flanged lug nuts instead of the 90° cone nuts with the wheel retaining ring on my Dexter 10k dual wheel axles? Thanks

Expert Reply:

As long as your dual wheel has a flat surface where the Flange Wheel Nut # 95188 would rest against, like what the Dexstar Dual Wheel # AM20790 has, then you would use this flange wheel nut in the place of a nut with a 90 degree cone. Attached is a review video of the flange wheel nut for you to check out. In the video we pull a wheel out to demonstrate the flat surface area the nut would install on.

If you are using a wheel retaining ring, like the part # 33-52-1, then you would still need to use a 90 degree cone lug nut like part # 6-109.
