Alright, recently i came across a set of 5 rims and tires for $80. There off a late 90s k2500 and they where bolted to a M14 -1.5 thread lug stud or somthing simular to that. My question in my k10 has 7/16-20 lug studs and my lug nuts are to small. I guess what im asking is there a lug nut out there to fix this or am i going to have to do bigger lug studs

Newer 6-lug wheels have a smaller center opening. If it weren't for that, you would just bolt them on with lug nuts for the 7/16 stud.

Im going to machine the center out to fit over the hubs. The thing im worried about is that the lug stud difference. The lug nuts i have sink far into the rim. Cant seem to find any that might work better
