Default PLEASE HELP!!D350 WHEEL AND STUD QUESTION

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok i bought some aftermarket dually wheels for my d350. I know they wont work with stock inners i know. So i purchased some inners from a 2nd or 3rd gen dodge. They seem to have too small of holes for the lugs, just by looking. My truck is at the shop being worked on, so i cant check. I am also pretty sure that the d350 has 5/8 lugs and the 94 and up have 9/16. So my question is. Has anyone else done this, and what do i need to do. Also finding 5/8 lug nuts has been a challenge. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I know you can switch from 1/2" studs to 9/16, not sure about 5/8ths...

I hate to say it, but unless you change the lug studs to 9/16 i dont think you can find a set of 5/8 nuts to fit in the new wheel. I just went through this whole ordeal, and did a ton of reasearch with no luck. But i hope im wrong and u get her all put together. Let me know if you get em to work

i spose you could. I just figured they were deep socket wheels and wold have to be machined out, but if they are normal wheels you could most deffinately drill them larger

I remember reading all over the interwebz people drilling rims out because they didn't fit over our massive studs.
