Your trying to use your old wheel covers on the new wheels? Are they the same wheels? If not, the cover designed for one wheel won't fit on another it's not designed for.....

No I bought 17s from like a 05 tahoe the cover won't thread on my old lug nuts

I removed old 16 saw blades I have new 17 wheels from tahoe but the covers won't thread on my old lug nuts

Cause it's different wheels....lol

 

[Albert]

Do i have to order new lugs? Lol I thought these would be a easy swap lol

No, you need the caps that come with a 17" wheel.

You're not understanding me the picture above in the thread are the caps that go with the new 17s I just got. There not threading on the lugs my old lugs sit flush on the wheels not threads are showing to allow the new wheel cover to attach if that makes any sense maybe someone has encountered thus before

If I understand correctly, it sounds like you just need to get correct year lugs for the correct year wheel. In every wheel swap I've ever witnessed the lugs went with their original wheel. See if whoever you traded with has the '05 lugs.

I think you would be making way more work for yourself altering the caps. Try this:
