spent a few weeks getting new tires for my gm rally wheels,getting them mounted and balanced and finally getting new lug nuts. took the american mags off and could not get the rally's to go on. they were off just a small tiny bit. hub is the same and i hate to get the step bit and go at it. here's what i found and i'm open to all opinions. my new 7/16 lug nuts are too small. the studs on the axle are 1/2x20. what i think happened is someone put 1/2 inch studs on the rear to put the american mags on and they seem to be a little wide for the rallys. everything is GM passenger cars stuff. is the 81 bolt pattern metric just enough to mess me up? bottom line is i should have paid more attention to nuts and bolts but i ASSUMED everything was on the up and up. that old saying came back to bite me in the butt. never assume anything. thanks to all
