Hi, I have a 1997 F350 dually rear wheel drive (not 4x4) with factory installed aluminum wheels. When I bought the truck it had no wheel caps so I have bought 2 sets, 1 set being from Ford and the other are aftermarket replacements.....neither set will fit. I provided a Ford dealer with my VIN and he gave me the part numbers I needed but they do not work. They appear to be correct as the little fingers that snap into the wheels to secure the cap line up with the notches in the wheel but the cap hits the washers built onto the lug nut.
The aftermarket wheel caps for the front hit the lug washers as well and the rear caps just slide over the hub with basicaly no means of secure attachment. I verified with my local Ford dealer that the lugs are correct.
Has anyone had this problem before? What caps do I need? Any part numbers? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I can e-mail a pic but not sure how to attach a pic here.

Thanks, Patrick.

 

Lets see the wheels and lug nuts in question

 

How do I post a pic? Do I have to use photobucket or something?

Thanks, Patrick.

 

Phototbucket, imageshack or the like

 

Hope this works. I'm a little rusty with Photobucket..........

 

Yup. That works. The washers do look bigger than what i am used to. They look like ones from a 91 and older truck

 

According to the local Ford dealer these are correct. Even pulled one off the shelf per the application. NAPA did the same and it has a large washer. Anyone have these wheels? What kind of lug nuts do you use?

Thanks, Patrick.

 

Anyone? Any help will be very appreciated.
