What year did the lug stud thread change to the fine thread like the '04 H-D trucks have? Just curious if the OP can use the included special chrome nuts or if he will need the F-150 ones that Mark has on Rudolph? I'm thinking it was in '03 but not positive......

Correct I meant to include that in my post. He should be able to use the original lug nuts that the seller has in the ad.
Thanks guys, I'll let you know how everything pans out. Part of the issue with the DynaTrac hub conversion is that opening for the front hub lock needs to be a little bigger than factory hubs

Not a joke, carbide tip cutter in exactly the size you need/want. The cutter may cost $35.00 but it is a factory-finish-OEM look.
Good luck keeping the cutter centered if you try doing that with a drill.
A machine shop can enlarge the center bore on your rims by chucking them up in a lathe in a few minutes. I bet all 4 would cost $50 or less to have done.

Been there done that, use a press go in from the inside with a pilot hole.
i only need the front ones done...which usually already have the hole in them. I enlarged the factory ones on a spindle sander.
I suppose if i had 2 without the hole, then i could make that work. But it's close to a 6" hole.
How much run out did you end up with on the hub centric mounting by using a sander ?
I can see it working ok for lug centric mounting but if you are using hub centric and using the center bore to locate the rim I see a potential source of front end vibrations when the rim isn't registered exactly centered.

Who here is oversizing their wheel center bore?

Pretty sure we are talking about center caps here.....Aren't we?

I think we are having a little bit of confusion here, everyone else is discussing center cap mods..............
Pirate, your comments make sense if everyone is talking about opening up the wheel's center bore, but........not so much with the current center cap conversation.
