Hi,
I just picked up my uncles 97 Ram 1500 Laramie SLT 4x4 (70k miles). My friend just gave me a set of 17" 04 Rims and new tires. The issue (which I knew about beforehand) was that the lug nuts are a different size. I have seen many 2nd gen trucks on this site running 3rd gen rims, and want to know what brand and kind of lug nuts are used? The factory lug nuts on the 97 (with 16" alloy wheels) are std cone seat but the lugs from the 04 are huge bulge seat (also different thread size) which makes the 97's look way to small for the hole in the rim. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jamie

Rather than go off topic on this thread you will get a lot more responses if you post your own thread with this question
