Nut took one zip of the impact to get off. No big deal.
RE-torquing it took a little grunt, though.

those have a 2016 date code. Not that it really matters for 'casual' track use.Eagle F1 Super Car tires in 305/30-19 size for $211 ea.
Right. These will be track tires, and with a 100 tread wear rating, I doubt they will be long lived. I ran Dunlop Direzza Star Specs (200 tread wear) on a track car for years. They were just as much fun after 5 years as they were when they were new.those have a 2016 date code. Not that it really matters for 'casual' track use.
yes but the 3R is what is on sale.Supercar 3 are 220tw.
Yep, 3R. More tire than I was originally looking for, but I'm a sucker for a bargain!yes but the 3R is what is on sale.

I haven't done a ton of research on camber solutions. Are you aware of any that do NOT require disassembling the strut?Supercar 3 are 220tw. You got the 3R? Very fast tire. If you keep the temps under control they last, but wear very fast if they overheat. All the more reason to get the camber in the box.
You will have to tighten it (with a new nut - since they're yield to torque) with same torque so better be ready.... Taking off is extremely easy, took me about 2 seconds with an impact.... Torquing new one back wasn't difficult either - torque wrench that can do 250 lb/ft has enough arm length.I guess that's the question; Is it easier to tap out/in 5 studs, or one axle nut @ 251 ft/lbs?
I think I'll probably get a set of the FP nuts (below). They appear to have a bigger cone, which would theoretically spread the load better on the wheel seat. The White Knight nuts actually leave at least 1mm of area on the wheel seat unused (i.e., the wheel seat is deeper than the cone surface of the nut). The FP seems like if would fill the entire seat area better.FP. Or OPMustang has some really cool, surface treated ones. The cone on the nut can be misleading, however. How much of a cone is present on the wheel side? If it's only about 7-8mm then the right side is just fine. Also what is the base diameter at the nose? The Ford example reduces to a very thin edge whereas the aftermarket may be truncated by 1mm.
I know you've said affordable but the ones from Optimum Performance are worth the money - they have a flange that simulates hub surface for the wheels to sit on and they're not that much more than bolt ons.Having a hard time tracking down "affordable" slip on 25mm spacers. CJ Pony appears to be the only vendor listing them for under $100, with a pair for $42. However, they are back ordered. Still waiting to see how long to get them.
Considering alternatives:
1) CJ has 3/4" (19mm) adapters in stock. Combine these with a 5mm slip on to get close to 25mm.
2) Get a pair of 25mm bolt on spacers for $40 and just tap out the lugs, making them slip ons.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks.
