    These are the nuts to use with series hubs with 9/16 BSF studs,depending on the length of the studs and the kind of rim. .W.

    So going off this I'm possibly driving with front wheels that have a different offset. It certainly appears that way as the wheel looks a noticeable amount further out in the arch on the drivers side (the wheel with the rib). What are the possible problems this might cause?

    I've been driving this way ever since I bought the Landy like this. I've been told it crabs, is this a symptom?

    wheel off set doesnt usually cause crabbing, axle misalignment does.

    In a series this is usually because of spring sag on one springl, failed spring center bolts and worn suspsension bushes.

    Thanks Dave, I replaced my suspension with Rocky Mountain Paras but didn't do the chassis suspension bushes at the time I've bought some since and plan to put them in in the near future. I also have new wheels on the way so this problem will be eliminated soon anyway, I was just curious.

    I think the different offset would only be noticeable if you've got a 6" rim.Have you checked the number? It should be on the raised bit between two studs. .W.

    Numbers were very faint and I hadn't noticed them before, had a closer look and the wheel is AYG 8038 so as you said not a very noticeable difference in offset. I hadn't noticed it for the past two and a half years. I still wasn't sure it was differently offset even then which is the reason for this post. Thanks for your help.
