You can cut the spindle to help with clearance for the cap but I choose not to cut the spindle and have a small spacer made to fit cap on.

Here is the link for the original post that talks about the issues with the -2 wheels. Mine played out exactly like this. Hope this helps.

Thanks for that clarification. When I replied previously I misread the question. I corrected my post accordingly.

Hellbent - I think sublvr has two sets of 18's for sale in the classified section ready to ship. Not sure of the spacing though. I guess I won't be the only one in the area with a set if you get some!

I've tried calling HID Solutions with no luck and no returned calls. I need to cancel my order and get my money back ASAP.

I called them 2-3 times today and thy answered every time...? he said that there was one person before me that hadn't gotten there wheels yet and mine should ship within a week. I was just really hoping on getting them before this weekends big truck show. Good things come to those who wait.

I hope I'm ahead of all y'all -- I'm the one who got this group buy started in the first place and I'm still waiting on my front rims.

Yeah, I know -- just goofing around. I'm not in a terrible hurry, since my front tires are also backordered.

67goatman455 · 06-01-2010, 11:46 PM

Sorry, I had to take the afternoon off. Shoot me an email or PM, I can get to those a lot quicker than phone calls

k5hart · 06-10-2010, 09:37 PM

Finally got mine on the truck.

Very nice! Latest word on my 20x8.5 chrome fronts is they're not even in production and no ETA. Should have gone with grey....

k5hart · 06-10-2010, 09:52 PM

Thanks brossow. I'm really happy with the greys. Hope you get your soon.

I have a question for ya'll that have your wheels. What are you using for lug nuts? I got a set of chrome, closed, acorns from OReilys and I couldn't get a socket in the holes with the lug nuts. I ended up using my stock nuts which were just small enough but they look bad. Plus I want some locks.

What size tires are you running?

TxSqueeze · 06-11-2010, 12:27 AM

Well, my tires are on the way. Nitto Invo; 245/40/20's and 295/35/20's. Wish I knew when my wheels would be on the way. What's very frustrating is there is a brand new set of the one's I'm waiting on, 30 minutes from my house. Oh well. Goin to argue with a grinder again.....

I didn't get the wheels, but Summit has some lug nuts that have a allen wrench type head that would work. I think they are McGard brand $40.00 a set. Nice truck and wheels.

67goatman455 · 06-11-2010, 11:35 PM

I went to a show last weekend, and there was a Ford ranger there that had these wheels. I was soooo Jealous! They look great in person! Still hoping to see an email saying they have been shipped......sigh

mcbassin · 06-12-2010, 12:13 AM

Thanks again for the sweet deal on the wheels Sublvr!

6D8_C10 · 06-12-2010, 10:54 AM

Hey just got my Continental DWS extreme 245/40zr 18s from Direct Tires for the front. Now got to go mount them. My 295s for the rear should be here MON.

This is a little up setting to me. I received my rear 20x10 about 2 months ago and have patiently waited for the 20x8.5. Well I guess there is not alot to do except wait.

Chatted with Sublvr72 this evening and there's a chance they may start shipping on Friday. I'll believe it when they're on my doorstep, but that's better news than we've had so far.

67goatman455 · 06-17-2010, 01:15 AM

ill believe it when i see it as well. I'm really tired of waiting, not saying i didn't know this was going to happen, but just that i really want them

The next batch of grey center 20" are expecting to hit the warehouses within the next week or two. And the even better news is for the people who ordered chrome 20's a few front 20x8.5 wheels have been located and they are working on getting those ready to ship as well.

Any word on if the 20" greys made it to the warehouse yet?

It's been a little over weeks,
