A friend while helping mount new tires mixed up the RH and LH threaded wheel adaptors to which the spinners screw onto. Adaptors have RH and LH text machined in. Which side of the car gets the RH tread?
Also, regardless of the mix up I'm not able to thread a spinner onto an adaptor. I tried threading the same spinner onto a RH or LH adaptor. Cannot get initial thread engagement even though I'm twisting in the correct direction (as indicated on the spinner). I'm concerned with cross threading the cast iron spinner with the softer aluminum adaptor. These wheels have been on a garaged car for 22 years and don't show any signs of corrosion or galling. (Yes, tire replacement was much overdue) March to November the car is driven once or twice weekly. Any thoughts on this spinner threading issue?
