Wheel stud ?

[884x4310ci]

Hey guys. Did anybody of you have problems with the stock wheel studs being to short when installing aftermarket aluminum wheels ?
I installed a set yesterday and the out nuts are flush with the stud. I find that a little bit on the short side?

If you mean that the stud is flush with the outside face of the nut that is plenty long.

Never. Are you sure you have the correct lug nuts for the wheel? Some aftermarket wheels require a shank lug nut where the lug goes deep inside the lug hole of the wheel. If you can post a clear pic of the lug hole that may help. Not all aftermarket wheels use the stock style conical seat lug nut.

My wheels look like these. But it's hard to tell I took them on trade. And there's no markings. They are probably knockoffs.
But look similar. They are definitely cone style lugs.

I have run into this, but not on my truck. As previously stated, if the stud is even with the outside face of the nut once it is torqued, you are GTG.

Ok good to know. Does torque to by wheel or does the truck have a torque spec ?

Thanks.

Generally...torque is governed by the diameter of the wheel studs. There is a spec for the truck...C1500 FSM shows 120 ft-lbs.
