Looking for a quick answer. went to get my wheels/tires installed today and the guys thought it might be a problem seatins with the stock conical lug nuts.. they didn't look like they would seat very well.. according to jegs you can use the conical/acorn style nut, but there are some special extended tip ones also that seem like they would work better. Also, anyone know the threads on the studs off the top of their head in case i do need new lug nuts.. they mounted only one of the wheels to check it and thats when they called me over to let me know about the lugs and the rubbing issue i would probably have.. i guess i will have to wait to get them installed until i get an answer if our stock lugs work (are safe) and possibly until my daystar kit comes in. i got the 16x8 cragar v-5s with 255/70/16 tires as i read somewhere it would work on stock suspension, but im thinking my wheel offset/back spacing made that a no worky.. it looked like i would have issues rubbing the fender wall at almost any compression/turning. |

Stock lug nuts will work with soft 8s etc. 16X8 with 255-70s and no lift? Very tight fit I would say, if it even does |

stock lugs will be alright the rims and tires might be alright actually. Mike08Liberty had about the same setup on his and was fine. at the most you might have to pound the pinch weld back and smidget. |

ok, so they should work, or wont.. dangit!! i knew there would be a couple different opinions on this.. I'll still have to find out the thread pattern so I can at least order a backup of the extended tip lugs.. On Jegs, cragar sells both style lug nuts, but say the extended tips would be better |
