Alum wheels lug nuts
If you have aluminum wheels, do your lug nuts look different from the steel wheel lug nuts? I put a set of Rickson Wheels on the truck today and noticed that the center caps do not snap on securely. The "flare" on the lug nut is so close to the wheel, the center cap cannot drop on far enough.
These wheels are 5/8 thick and the lug studs do not protrude thru the nuts.
Thanks in advance,
Ronnie

I have not noticed any difference in lug nuts for factory steel vs. aluminum wheels. Your Rickson wheels maye have the countersink on the holes deeper than a stock aluminum wheel, which would cause the problem you describe.
