What wheels did you get?

The Lightning guys drill the holes out to 5/8", and use the flat washer type lug nuts. The wheel is held true by the hub like the new models.

I double checked over on NLOC (lightnig club) it is a 11/16" drill bit. Just ream the holes bigger. If it s temp thing just regular washers, and turn lug nuts around backwards (cone out)

Depending on what your lug nuts look like, you can turn them around and have taper pointing out, and use the flat washer, using the flat washer to push against wheel, we have 3 different types that can be used on our trucks, see pics below.

this one you can turn taper out, and use washer




this one you can't it has a shoulder




this one has no through hole
