I just got a set of 95-97 250-350 factory aluminum rims for my 74 F250 2wd. Since the wheels are thicker Im not getting enough bite with the lugnuts. I need wheel studs that are about 1/2"to 3/4" longer and am having no luck finding them. I've been to napa and checked the web and cant find the right ones. Has anyone been through this and if so what did you use? THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

 

u need lug nuts for aluminum mag rims which r different then teh steel rim lug nuts.

 

2x on the different style lug nuts.

Something like this. These are just off google so don't buy them. Just so you know what they look like.

if its a factory wheel, wouldn't it use a tapered seat still?

 

It does use a 60 degree acorn style lugnut. The wheels fit however I only get 7 full turns with the lugnut and I don't want to take a chance losing a wheel. Has anyone installed longer studs on a 73-79 f 250 2wd or know a part # that will work? Thanks for the replies!

 

Dorman/Wheel Stud (610-279.1) | AutoZone.com

 

Well I figured it out. I removed a front stud out of the rotor and took it to advance auto and asked to see the replacement stud they sold (Dorman 610-290). Turns out the replacement stud was about 1/2" longer so I bought 16 of them and now they just catch all the threads on the lugnuts. Now I gotta replace the rear ones so hopefully that goes the same. And in case anyone was wondering I had to buy new lugnuts with a "bulge" seat area because the hex area on the original nuts would dig into the rims when tightened. Thanks for the replies!
