I'm looking into getting some 2004 2500HD take-off aluminum wheels. It was brought to my attention that due to the metric lug nuts and the way the center caps attach, I would need to swap all of my lugs to metric if I want to use the center caps. I know some have used these wheels and I was wondering if there was a way to use the center caps without replacing the studs or possibly an aftermarket standard thread lug nut that will work to fasten the center caps? Thanks.
