Thanks for the link. I hadn't thought of that. I naively assumed lug nuts is lug nuts.
I will also check the Warn hub/wheel hole clearance. I understand some machinists won't hone them open for liability reasons.
The New-Tires-on-the-Jimmy project is on hold while I get the Stepside back on the road.
