Note: thread change in 2012

Ok,found a guy local to trade my 22's for his 2013 20" stockers. Well they were in great shape, had 7200 miles on them. Got mine all off, gave them to him as he brougt them down already removed (trucks in getting leather seats)
I gave him all my lugs, wrench,etc....took his wheels and stock lugs.

Well, in 2012 some genius decided to go from 9/16's to 14mm....so...we both have lugs that dont work. He's an hour away, plus the lugs I had were opened ended as they were hidden under the cap.
So had to order 9/16's, wont be here until tomorrow.

Here she sits...LOL


so note, if you change wheels, the thread changed in 2012 as well.

I would have never guess they would be different.

But wait out worked for him? Won't he have problems as well? How I did the other guy make out? Meaning, if the lugs don't work, how did he get the tires on and tighten?

He has to get new lugs too...the ones I had were open ended 9/16's...he will need open ended 14mm...so we got are out.

That sucks. Did you get the black 20's?

Hooray! What a giant f*cking mess!

My tire guy was saying that as he was putting on my new wheels and tires. Sucks that you didn't know beforehand. Hopefully the new ones come soon!

No, the 2013 gray, but found another set of just rims, so will have them powdercoated black, then do a swap. Sell these gray 2013's.

Hooray! What a giant f*cking mess!

exactly LOL

i really liked the way your truck looked with those 22s. They matched perfectly with your truck. Hate to hear you took them off

Going sleeper? Man that is a hellva kick in the pants when you are expecting an even trade and then have to go fork out hard earned cash for new lugs.

It wasnt bad at all, the guy was super cool and couldnt believe I was trading straight across. Plus I threw in my ratchet wrench, extension and socket for those particular rims for free. I wanted to be honest so he knew if he had a flat, a four way wasnt the tool he'd need.
Treat people like you want to be treaded I say
