got my friends rims of his 04 ram 1500 went to put them on found out needed thinner lug nuts got those went to put them on now the socket tire iron nothing will fit between the lug and rim any ideas to they make a special socket for this, it fit on the first two becuase i could adjust the rim from side to side but the last two were almost impossible

 

had the same problem on my durango.
i went to walmart and picked up a thin wall socket tire iron for about $12
or maybe try a deepwell socket with thin walls

I have a 12 point 1/2" deep wall socket that i use on our work vans. they have american racing wheels and nothing fits except that, i believe its a craftsman.

 

yeah ill try to find a thinwall, i would spring for the spline lug nuts but i just spent 40$ on the new lugs and if that doesnt work ill try the deep wall socket

 

wow super fancy!

 

lol, they work well, its what i have on my truck now. The biggest problem with trying a real thin lined socket, over time as the lugs rust on and become stubborn etc, when you have a flat and need to break the lugs free, the socket breaks without releasing the lugs.
Ive seen a few friends end up with that nightmare.

 

These are the ones I have. Works with the SRT's and Moto Metals.

yes that would suck, i would only use one as a last ditch effort, but this is what i was reffering to

works great
and was way cheaper at wal*mart

 

yes, the thin wall socket is not an ideal long-term solution. but it would work for this one instance so you weren't stuck with no wheels. I agree with the splines, i like those the best.
