So yesterday I traded my 11 sport in for a 13 sport and asked for my rims/tires to be switched over only to find out the studs are different. So I have to go back tomorrow with hopefully a solution but so far all I'm finding for lug nuts for a 13 are these pricey ones:

Could we just switch the rims/tires but not the lug nuts and keep those to their respective vehicles? The rims on the 13 are obviously stock but the ones from my 11 are aftermarket. And if not does anyone have a more reasonably priced lug nut for the 13 w/aftermarket rims? If I have to get the pricey ones thats ok but this is more of a time constraint issue at the moment, just need to get them switched out somehow tomorrow or Tuesday latest so ordering something online would make that difficult.

Also was wondering about the tpms switching over, saw in one thread someone said after a day the light went off from them being switched over but then saw other people saying they needed to get new ones.

So since I'm in a pinch I can just have them switch the rims/tires but keep the lugnuts to their respective vehicles? Doesn't matter that the rims are aftermarket vs stock?

No the lugnuts won't fit, go to any autoparts store or tire shop and buy the proper ones

Just grabbed these from autozone, are these for stock wheels or aftermarket? This is difficult cause my wheels are in Maryland and I'm in New York so I cant just check. Heres a picture of the wheels and lug nuts I got today if anyone can tell if they will work or not.

Yes, 12+ have 14mm x 1.5

There's hundreds on ebay
14mm x 1.5 | eBay

I think your first pic should be fine. Need to see how wide wheel lug nut hole is. The 2nd pic will work too if there 14mm x 1.5 but they are more for tuner rims. There real narrow.

Thanks for the info, since the truck is far away I'm going to try to bring both down to avoid coming back disappointed again.
