First off I know this is dumb having these wheels and putting them on this truck, but I got a good deal on them and can profit from them in the future. And I also like having stuff on hand like lug nuts, but I don't have any extras yet. 1 tire is bald so I need a different set but went to throw them on just to see the look today. The lug nuts I was using with my XD series rims are too wide just by a hair and the lug holes on these fuels are slightly narrower. Can someone explain this to me and or give me a link to a set of lug nuts that'll work? Could only hand tighten them, didn't drive it at all of course. This is my first time getting into custom wheels and I guess I was just really expecting the old ones to work. Maybe there's something aftermarket with a smaller diameter or longer length. The guy at oreilys on the phone kinda seemed to know what I was talking about but said $240 for a set, seems high priced to me. Thanks for any help. And also if you have a set of lt275/65r20s in northern Wisconsin available let me know.1000008527.jpg

Go to a tire and wheel shop or contact custom offsets in Wisconsin. I’ll have a set of 275/65/20 in a couple months but they are 8 years old with just under half tread.

I just ordered a thin wall socket from eBay which should work from what I seen online so far.
If all else fails Ill definitely stop in at a tire shop and or call custom offsets.
I'm hoping to find tires sooner than that but would be interested if I'm still in need. That condition is ok with me they don't need to be that good.

The condition of the tires is good they are just getting replaced due to age. I’m hoping to make it to Steve’s gtg in May so that’s the soonest you’d see me Logan. I know you want them sooner. When I’m ready to get them replaced I’ll message you.

Factory lugs use a 22mm socket. They should be 14x1.50 thread.
You'll need a set of lugs that are 14x1.50 but use a 19mm socket. They will have a narrower tapered seat to fit the smaller diameter lug well.
You can probably get a complete set off Amazon for $60.

Take off a wheel and go to an auto parts store that has a big cabinet with lug nuts of different sizes, probably a really old Napa store.
