I don't know wheel weights by model number but every one I know of mounts to the rim using carriage bolts. Thread size is 3/8 which uses a 9/16 hex nut.

9/16-18 is a standard fine thread.

Looks like the weight is bolted to the hub through the existing threaded holes in the hub and a tapered nut is used on the same bolt to mount the wheel. Listed as Special bolt so suspect the thread is longer than found on a standard bolt.

The 9/16 fine thread tapered wheel nuts are a common nut used on light trucks.

I guess mine have bigger holes, I use 1/2"-13x(whatever length  needed) carriage bolts or "all thread" that use a 3/4" wrench on the nuts...

My copy/paste thingy isn't working so maybe Garry can link to the manual for these weights. It looks to me that the weights are bolted directly to the back of the hub and then the wheels are held on with lugnuts. The original lug bolts aren't used. Entirely different than the weights most of us are accustomed to. Pretty cool! :)

 

These are for the 15" 4 hole rims on the 953/1054.
