Anyone know what the R designation on the wheels was for? Just realized each of my wheel studs are also stamped with an R. Coincidence  |

The "R" stands for "Rectal", which is the same as "Anal". Cause if you let things like that bother you.............. brother you got problems.

NO........ In other words, I don't let things like that bother me and yes I don't have a clue.
There's not one judge at any Olds event that has a clue either, so you'll never be judged on it.
If that's the reason for having to have them stamped with an "R", you don't have to worry.

The R on the stud is RH thread. As late as 64 most GM full size cars still used LH thread on one side of the car.

In the fleet shop I use to work we would get pickups towed in with a flat tire and 3 of the 5 lugs snapped off the left side!  |

OK........ I've waited for BRO or Ram Z to step in and give the correct answer ..... The "R" wheel was on the 4-4-2 and wagons from 65 til 68 I believe. It was a heavy duty wheel that was 14X6 instead of the 14X5. The "R" is stamped next to the valve stem. These are pretty much outdated but I will be glad to help you out and take any off your hands that you might have. I would be willing to pay shipping on them just let me know how much. By the way "yes" I do have a set.

And I will be dumping my Rs here shortly as soon as I can spin them on the balancer to see if any are bent.
