Need help with new wheels

[Yamahaul]

New wheels here. It seems the threads on the bolt are just past even with the new wheels. About 3 threads short of the original wheels. Is this ok? Thank you.

I would say you are ok. Just check them for tightness often and you should be just fine.

Looks like you have a full nut all the way around. Torque them to value, check later at about 100 miles. Thumbs up.

Steel and Aluminum Wheel Torque Specs

Learn about torque specs for your racing wheels. The experts cover what you should have your lug nuts and beadlocks torqued to, so you can avoid warping.

Steel wheels should have the lug nuts torqued to 85 ft. lbs. The beadlocks should be 18 ft. lbs.
Aluminum wheels should have the lug nuts torqued to 70 ft. lbs. The beadlocks should be 20-22 ft. lbs.

You made me look up beadlocks.
Beadlocks, of one form or another including adhesive, are therefore used to keep the beads of off-road tires firmly seated and prevent slip, even when inflation pressure is low.

For those like me that had no clue what that was!
