OK guys ill try to explain this so it can be understood. So i have a pair of 17" American Racing Rims that i took off my old truck. The rims have a recessed hole for thenuts. The bolt pattern and hub cut outs fit just fine. Ive test fitted the rims and they fit fine. The only problem that im having is that the lugs on my new truck are bigger, therefore the lug nuts dont fit into the hole. I guess what i need is a lug that will fit over the bolt, but be no bigger than the head of a 11/16 nut. So heres the size breakdown.


Rim was used with 11/16 sized nut on old truck.
My dodge uses 13/16 ( correct me if im wrong, 04 4x4QC), therefore the head of the nut dont fit in the hole for the rim.

Is there any way i can find lugs that will fit into the hole on the rim but still accept the bigger bolt size of the dodge truck. Thanks in advance.

Just an FYI, these rims originally were on a 2nd gen Ram 1500, then i got them put them on my f-150, now trying to put on 04 Hemi QC 4x4, and i need some lugs to fit. THanks

 

You should be able to find a lug that'll work. This is what I picked up at the local tire shop.

You can see it's a little smaller in diameter than the stock bolt on the leftso it'll fit into a smaller hole.

 

any idea on the bolt size or thread pattern on my truck? any place you know of to get them? thanks a lot for the help, this forum has yet to let me down!

 

The bolt size on the 3rd gen trucks is 9/16". I don't know what the threads would be. I'm in Canada so I went to the local Kal Tire.

 

Mine are 9/16" - 18, I would think yours should be the same. I'm interested in this too, but mostly because I want to see what's out there for lug nuts to replace the stock ones. I never want to run into the problem I had with my Dakota when the thin metal cap broke off, leaving a nut that no wrench fit properly.

I have 11/16 on my truck right now. I have an extra set of 3/4" and an extra set of "tuner" type (like these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BLACK...spagenameZWDVW. Maybe we can work something out if you're interested.

 

The spline style ramdamit will do it.I had to get em for my truck as well with the ARE Fuels. I got em shipped to my door for 36 bucks.
