Do you think I'm not looking in the right place or did they stop selling?
No I f'd up and wrote 12mm x 125 but actually it was 12mm x 1.75. I know for a fact as I changed back to my Ultra Wheels today, and pulled off my FX4 wheels. The ride is so much better with the BFG's over the Cooper's. For the guys with 14mm lug nuts they are 14mm x 2.0 sized.

I'm sorry I messed you up. It was 2 or so in the morning when I wrote that I believe. Good luck.

Hahaha no prob man it happens, we all have those moments. Much easier to find now tho lol I believe I found a set that will out perfect. Also, I didn't get the wheels today again because of the bad snow storm we had last night, so tomorrow morning come hell or high water I am getting those wheels lol Thanks again tho man and I'll post up when I get them and have them put on.

One more quick question, I am going to level out my truck when I get these tires and wheels by crankin the torsion bars. I already know how to do that, my question is will the shop I go to know how to put these wheels back on after they do the alignment? Because I have to get the alignment done after I do the tbars, so how exactly will that work? Will they know how to do this with the wheels? Im a bit confused on this one haha

Did you ever get your lug nuts? I got anther set off eBay last week for 10.80 (5. for the part 5.80 shipping). These were new and came with 4 wheel locks and 2 keys. So, if you still need them, keep looking, as they are out there. I needed the locks for my wheels.

These are what I got.

Default well...

Hey man I've been so busy lately I'm lucky to even sit down. Well, basically I'm having some bad issues with the truck lately. Got check engine light while back and ran scanner on it, got the code and basically gotta change coil packs, plugs, wires etc It's been running horribly bad man. Soon as the engine warms up it immediately starts sputtering, jerking and whatnot. Anyways, that's what I'm dealing with at the moment. Also, I tried out my factory lugs on this wheels and to my shock, they work!!!! Seriously, I tried them out on one of the new wheels and made it was all tightened up correctly, ran the one tire just to see if it was ok, threw the other back tire on and right now I've got both rear wheels/tires on. Tomorrow I'm goina throw the front ones on and crank tbars. I can't upload pics just yet, I will get to that asap, hell I'm lucky to get on here at all haha That's a wife for ya....Anyways, I am still going to try and get some new lugs though because these factory ones are just wore and crap lookin I swear tho if I can't get this dang truck running better after I do all that, I will prob just sell it.....I miss my super duty
