Highly recommend a to z but buy your hardware else where. Got all my bolts and washers from tractor supply for 50 and lock nuts from fastenal for 30 for 150 count. All grade 8 zinc finish. Came out 20 plus the extra shipping ahead buying my own. Plus I know what grade they are.

3/8 grade 8 bolt and flat washers. I used a 5/16 washer so it fit the bolt a Lil more snug. 2 washers per bolt. And then grade 8 lock nuts. 32 bolts per wheel and nuts and 64 washers
