chucky07 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 I'm going to get some American Racing Rims for my 52 1/2 t. dodge truck... quick question for those of you who have done same: There are no studs on the hubs..I guess it's suppose to have bolts instead of lug nuts? How do i convert to get studs in my hubs so i can mount aftermarket rims? Or do i need to...? Can i use the bolts on the new rims?? Very confused..I went to tire shop here and they are kids..they all said they didn't know..so I came here and knew you guys would know.. Thanks in advance.... Quote
bkahler Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 You can buy studs that screw into the hubs in place of bolts and then you buy the correct lug nut to fit your application. I did this for a trailer we have that used bolts instead of studs originally. Do a google search on replacement wheel studs or go to your local napa parts store and browse through their stud catalog. Good luck! Brad Quote
pflaming Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 Was visiting with a local who is known for his 'remaking' of old cars/trucks. He said one could take the drums/rotors to . . . and they punch out the holes to the new desired pattern. Quote
