Modern 8 bolt alloy wheels

For those of you who have used modern 8 bolt alloy wheels on a old classic, I would like to know how you handled the lug nut change. The modern 99-2007 alloy wheels and center caps I belive have Metric lugs and nuts. My old 78 C20 does not. I have seen many of you use the newer wheels and centercaps that attach to the lug nuts. how did you do that? I have a nice set of 2500 HD 8 bolt alloy wheels that fit my 78 reel well. But the lug nuts do not. and there for the center caps will not. PR

search ebay for conversion lug nut and you'll find what you need.

Re: Modern 8 bolt alloy wheels

Thanks, for the link! I read the thread, and ordered some on e-bay. Man, I love the internet. In the old days I would still be looking threw the yellow pages calling garages and shops. PR

Or put new metric studs on your truck.
