Lug Nut Requirements: 18" diameter wheels require conical (60-degree) seat lug nuts. Factory lug nuts are not compatible — use only Weld-specified conical seat hardware to ensure proper seating and safety. Lug nuts are sold separately.

The S71 RT-S series is engineered for street, drag strip, road course, and autocross applications, offering three available mounting pad heights (low, medium, and high) to accommodate virtually any brake package. This high pad variant is the correct choice for vehicles equipped with large, multi-piston performance brake systems.
