Thanks Clifford,

I needed that. Any idea the length of the studs, or just ask for some for alu. wheels?

Richard, run steel on the inside dual the you can buy a longer inner nut, the steers and tag will need longer studs and you can order those from Chalks Truck Parts in Houston and I think they have a place in San Antiono also it is proably going to cost you over 500 bucks for studs and nuts but what the hell it's only money  LOL

I agree with Clifford at the price you got the wheels for you didn't get hurt on the wheels at all when done with the new studs/nuts you'll still only have as much in it as the wheels normally cost used!

If they are going on an MCI call Joel @ Choo Choo Expess Garage and tell him I told ya to call and ask for the part # for what ever # MCI it is for aluminum wheels, he'll have a good # for ya!

One big issue with used rims is whether the bolt holes are still within serviceable limits.

Accuride, if not others, has a go/no go gauge for checking the wear/thickness on/at the bolt holes.

Can't find it in their catalog, I've got one someplace in a box... two piece plastic affair, if the long piece poked through the rim passes beyond the edge of the other, too thin, and it has the correct angle for checking the chamfer on the edge of the bolt holes for stud pilot installs.

happy coaching!
