A few months ago I bought a set of five new wheels and tires for my TT at a national tire dealer. Recently when I tried to remove the spare from my bumper mounted carrier manufactured by Stromberg Carlson, I found that the bolts and lug nuts were severely cross-threaded. I can't seem to find replacements anywhere; I've tried RV parts distributers, Fastenal, eTrailer, etc. Those of you with this setup know that it's important to have the lug nut so that it mates correctly into the lug hole on the wheel, holding it solidly in place. And that's why you need the fine-thread carriage bolt to match. Also, there's the convenience of using the same size lug wrench on the spare as on the running wheels. Has anyone ever had any luck finding these parts?

Your sig line says 2014 Arctic Fox, that's pretty new. What was wrong with tires that you needed to replaced or just getting rid of OEM junk?

I dont see it? Most tire racks use a basic stud, bolt or other sort of fastener. If you want to keep the nut the same size, thats a good idea. But all you need to do is buy a standard course thread hex nut in the same size, ie, 3/4,9/16 etc as your lug nuts, then get the corosponding bolt size and go. Many bolts are cross drilled for a lock, so keep that in mind too.
