I'd probably be looking for the correct lug nuts for the wheels.

Possibly (probably) what franken said. The lug holes look pretty large and not sure if I see a taper for the nut. Sure you don't need a mag wheel lug nut that sleeves into the wheel? Like this https://lugnutguys.com/collections/l...nk-zinc-washer Not sure the exact ones you would need without more info.

I have the correct lug nuts .problem is if the studs aren’t 100% straight they won’t go on .stock studs are flush with rim I need a studs that will stick beyond the rim so I can get the studs started.

No taper on the wheel although nuts have a taper to them.

**Old school57** · Yesterday, 01:52 PM

No taper on the rim if studs where a1/4 to 3/8 longer the taper on the nut would Guide the nut into the wheel .

Just reread your post about the nuts you have. You should be able to get longer studs at NAPA or even Autozone .

Just don’t go too long or the cap could bottom out before the wheel is correctly torqued.

**Old school57** · Yesterday, 05:09 PM

Yep that’s what I have they are a tight fit with a 9/16 stud .right now I’m cleaning up the studs and sanding the polish off the rim of wheel.I want to change out the studs because the truck has been in a house fire so might as well put a little longer.

Okay, understand why you want the longer studs now. But, looking at the lug nuts you have- would think the wheel should have a taper at the face of holes. Your lug nuts have a taper under the hex where they seat on the wheel. Unlike the type I linked to.

They came with washers.

Those lug nuts look very wrong to me.
