[QUOTE="whoisbigman, post: 603961, member: 13259"] I have an enormous amount of experience with this on SuperDutys... original wheels are hubcentric, wheel is centered on hub, uses a flat backed nut because wheel is perfectly centered on hub. Some (most) aftermarket wheels and spacers are lugcentric and when you place them on truck, they have some wiggle room. If you used your factory lugnuts, it could be off center. You use acorn style aftermarket nuts which center the wheel on the bolt pattern for these. If you have no center cap on wheel you should see a perfectly even space around hub against wheel. You have hubcentric spacers so use factory lugnuts to put spacer on truck, then factory wheels will need aftermarket acorns to hold them centered on spacers. Your stock wheels are not ideal for this but it's all you can do otherwise you wont be round and in balance. Or get hubcentric spacers inside and outside of spacer.... ...or don't use spacers because they suck and are a weak point in the whole setup and a disaster waiting to happen. [/QUOTE]
