How much stud length do You have past the wheel face?Possibly
Well, to be honest, you probably only need about 8 inches or so to pass the face!!How much stud length do You have past the wheel face?
Can check with these guys to see if they have the right lug nuts. They seem to have most every combination.That’s not the problem. The rims require the large bulge style nuts. All the 1/2 inch lug nuts go right thru the hole in the rim
I do recall seeing somewhere somebody made lug nuts for those mismatch situations. They had them for like steelie and cast wheel lug-wheel-stud mismatches.Can check with these guys to see if they have the right lug nuts. They seem to have most every combination.

Chris, my Fargo had wheel bolts. I set it up in my drill press and hogged out the holes to take the wheel studs i wanted to use. Done. No shake and they run true as a 70 year could run.So there may be a slight change in my Power Tour Plans @Mopar Tim . Yes I’m still going, but it’ll likely now be the Jeep making the trek as opposed to my w200. Frames been sanded, primed, painted and cleared. Brakes are done on the front. Doing the rears today. However… tires are issue. The only, I mean only company making a 33x12.5x16.5 is Interco, which means either TSLs or Boggers.
So my plan was to take the 8 lug rims off the 99 Cummins, that has tires that have less than 500 miles on them, run that. Well the problem is while having the same bolt circle and hub centric as the w200, the 99 has 5/8ths studs, the w200 has 1/2s. I’ve tried 7 different types of lug nuts to try and hold them tight, none come close.
Thought about having them drilled out, so I took the rotors and hubs to two different machine shops, both said the same thing, the w200 doesn’t have enough meat to hog out that much safely. And even if they did, they want 350 per hub/rotor/drum. Not worth it.
So then that leaves me with finding new rims. So after checking out multiple different rims and sets listed on Craigslist and Facebook over the last two weeks, finding 16 or 17 inch 8 lug rims with 1/2 inch studs is nearly impossible. Pretty much all of them are drilled for 9/16s or larger.
Which leaves me with ordering new rims. Being how I’m trying to keep the original as factory ordered look, that means American Racing white spokes. They make them in the size and specs I need, but in a 17 or an 18 which is nice as I can find tires. But they’re drop shipped 4-6 weeks best case and then that’s 350 a rim. Plus tires.
So I told my son we may just take the jeep and still do the camp ground thing but have AC during the day. He seemed okay with that idea.
Plan though is continue the thrash on the truck. It’s ready for light body sanding and primer/paint now that the frames done
Sorry Dave your name came with the Meme.What? I didn't do anything.
Nice work Frank, she's looking good.Ya, got more done on cab corner. Not hapoy with how step turned out, fixable when cab is off. View attachment 1716237879Then my son stopped by. Brought two Mazda steering knuckles in to replace wheel bearings. So i am very pleased i got to share some knowledge with him. First was driving it apart,and removing inner race. Spinning with a drill and heating race with the torch. 30 seconds and it was off. And the way to get stuck snap rings out. Punch and lube. And two picks to walk them out. Hammer to tap em in, he liked that.
Don't think I ever lost my internet and really amazed living out here in the middle of nothing.Internet has been down all morning just got it back now.![]()
