I am thinking about that, are you going to do all the lugs with gorilla lug nuts?

check this picture out and see how there not painted all the way to the lug hole, them small lugs he sent me wont cover that up like the stock ones will..Cya Slick

Yes I am going gorilla but that's because I want chrome center cap and chrome lug nuts, I just ordered them that way with my nittos!
Can't you just take some black paint to the holes so it's unnoticeable?

I still want the bigger lugs tho and so I am not going to use the small one I bought from him.. I guess I could take some black paint to it but if I go with the bigger lugs then I wont have to worry about painting.. Did you order your lugs already? and what size nittos did you go with?

I haven't ordered yet but I know they are the 9/16 like our stock size. I got the 285/50/20 tires because LB PM'd me and said they would fit with minimal rubbing, and the rubbing is even fixable with some trimming/moving of wheel well stuff.

good deal because I did not know you where at stock ride height, when we have been talking about these wheels and tires.. Cya Slick

I did a 2nd look at those black lug nuts I bought from the guy that sold the wheels and it seems that they may work alright because they do meet up to the rim like they should, I will just have to touch up the black paint on them, there just so much smaller then the stock ones.. Cya Slick

They only rub the rear mud flaps every now and again, not every time and yes that would be in a turn.. A couple minutes with the dremel and its a done deal, never rub again.. I cant wait to put them back on thats for sure, so how was your week away? where you on vacation or away for work? Cya Slick

Yeah the next thing I would like to do is the electric fan modification but I have to slow down a tad, I only had the truck 60 days and spent 5 g's already DOHHHHHH LOL boy and his toys as I like to call it.. So I shall slowing picking up the items for the next electric fan modification.. Cya Slick

here is the gorilla lugs we where looking for. Cya Slick

I was skiing in Aspen/Snowmass, CO. One of the best weeks I've had out there. Snowed like 35" during the week, flights were cancelled out of Aspen for days, including mine. Had to drive to Denver a day late to get home. Being stranded sucks...

Now another 6=12" of snow tomorrow, 20's are collecting dust man!!!
