eagle alloy lug nut ?

[mjpmattox]

Guys I put my eagle alloy 17s w/m&h 390s on yesterday and when I took the truck home all of my lug nuts were loose on both sides. I used the factory ones from our 22s. my left wheel when I had it mounted was bent slightly, you could see it on the tire balacer machine. any ideas should I be using different lug nuts? my wheel almost feel off by the time I got home.

I hope you guys can help. and yes I am sure that I put them on tight.:dontknow:

I'll have some extra 2 inch lug nuts when I get mine from Boomer. I had to buy 20 of them but only need 10. These will fit the 15x10 american eagle wheels, not sure about 17's.

The M&H 390s (and the Eagle Alloy rims) are 17s.

And yes you will need different lug nuts with the new wheels.

hey guys just an update. I talked to justin today and he told me that you definetly cannot use the factory lug nutz. They do not fit all the way into the hole of the wheel, hence they never tighten all the way. I was a little embarresed to say it earlier but my driver side wheel actually feel off the truck as I was comingto a stop. Thank God I just put the Caltracs on (the only thing that saved my brake system from the garbage can).

A local auto store. I will be in the shop this afternoon. Or call Dan at 478-922-4953 and he can get some out to you. They come in packages of 4, so I had to order 12. It only ran me about 20-25 bucks that time. Had some trial and error fitting a few. These are chrome and look niccccccce.

I have the empty boxes with discriptions in the back of my truck and can get the part number.

I'll try to take some pics today.
