ok so just today i was driveing down the street and all of a sudden my right front tire fell off.. broke all 5 studs clean off.. hers the bad part i just replaced them last month due to the same thing.. im wondering why its doin it is it due to haveing 33 inch tires,failing studs,or the rims that are on it.. they are american raceing rims aluminum of corse im not for aluminum butit come with them..im wondering where i could find some cheap steel wagon wheels that i could swich my tires to or if i should justput stock tires back on along with some diff rims...

 

There's TONS of them at your local junk yard...steel rims that is.

 

That should not be happening..... (yeah, brilliant observation eh?) Twice in as many months makes me really wonder.... Where are you getting your new lugs from? Do you have the correct nuts? Does the wheel make any rude noises before it just abandons the rest of the truck? (clattering, or similar.) Do you re-torque your lug nuts after putting the tire back on? Do you use a torque wrench at all on your lugs? Get any funny vibrations while driving?

Those lugs should hold on to a 33" tire without any issues. Something is just not quite right there. I would be real tempted to pay the exhorbitant price at the dealer for some new lug studs..... see if you get a repeat performance. (rotate the wheels too.)

 

yeah somethings deff wrong dont want to get into the argument but you running wheel spacers? i mean ive drove around missing a lug but nothing like you say

 

Summitracing.com Cragar soft 8's 68 bucks a piece, chances are youll get them within 2 to 3 days. there sick i have them on my truck check out my sig pic

 

I will take those american raceing wheels off your hands

 

no spacers, the rite stock lugs and studs for the truck and rims, used a tourq wrench, no vibrations just simply driveing down the road and the thing broke off.. scared the hell out of me...im lookig to get some just plane jane black wagon wheels.ive had my tirs balenced rotated all new front end everything. im just stumped maybe it just happend to be the studs idk.if anybody is near groveport ohio and would like to come out and look at these rims to maybe trade or buy em come out.im just wanting some wagon wheels ive always liked em ill try to get a pic of my truck on here today on my sig. to see if someone is wanting them..
