Tapered spring washers are what I use they should be easy enough to find. If not ford wheel nuts have one side tapered if they would fit your studs

I bought these (twice as many for twice the money) for exactly the same job a few years ago.

Fordson major rear wheel nuts have separate washers, so you could rob them.
I didn't realise until after I had spent £8. I didn't sleep for a week.

So have I, on SAME rims.
About time I sorted them and got rid, the tyres are worth a few quid.

is the rim itself 12 inch ?
thats what
the Ford ones in question are and will allow the head of the trimmer to work beside the wheel without rubbing the paint off or hitting the bank and rotavating the soil out pullng it in around the flails but they fit perfect with washers.

but i wouldnt mind a bit wider set like 16,9 x 38 for ploughing as the 520's on the tractor are a tad too wide to be perfect for that job....
