What time do you get off ?

I get off at 10am but its gona take me like an hour in a half to get up there to meet you guys cuz I work at casche creek casino so yea hopefuly I can get off early around 7

 

[downpour11]

That's not too bad at all I'm sure we could work something out

 

[mien4x4]

yea thanks but if I dnt get off early that morning then im not gona be able to make it cuz I have to go back to work that same night

 

[KSWAY]

Got em on...

 

[downpour11]

Yeaaaah buddy! Those spacers work?

 

[KSWAY]

Got the spacers, But don't have them on yet. Looks like there's not enough thread for the lug nuts with the 1/4" spacers?

 

[downpour11]

Yeah that's what I was thinking. You'll want to grab those gorilla lock lug nuts. Which are good to have anyway so your wheels and tires don't get stolen lol

 

[KSWAY]

Lug nuts are fine. it looks like there's not enough thread on the wheel stud once you mount the spacers on for the lug nuts to screw on to.

 

[mien4x4]

he means that the gorilla lug nuts catch more thread because it thinner in the front so it goes in further past the rim lug hole to catch the thread if that makes any sense

 

[KSWAY]

Yea that makes sense. But I'm just use to seeing plenty of thread when I mount the wheel before the lug nut screws on. I'll have to take a look at the Gorilla lug nuts and see how much more it will catch compare to the regular acorn style lugs. I might just run without the spacers and accept the rub at full locked for awhile and eventually get extended studs.

yup they are a little thinner and they have more thread too. I wasn't sure if the spacers would work at first. It was a b**** to get the lugs to thread. But once you get 1 of them started, the rest of the lug nuts go right on.

^^^^When you get a chance, Can you take one of your lug nuts out and snap a picture of the stud showing how much thread is exposed passed the wheel lug hole? I'm sure I can get the lug nuts on there, But just a little iffy about it cause there's such little thread to screw the lug nuts on.

 

[downpour11]

No prob, I'll do it in the morning when we got some light

 

[KSWAY]

Awesome!..Thx bro..

if you use the gorilla lug nuts they will work fine witht he spacer because i had that set before but i dnt no about the regular ones tho

 

[downpour11]

So the standard lugs will sadly not work... heres pics:

 

[KSWAY]

Thanks man. That's how mine looks with the spacers too. Gonna run to auto zone and see if they have those Gorilla lugs..

 

[downpour11]

Yeah see if they have em, I got mine from 4wheelparts
