Ah I understand now. Yeah, they're 33x12.5. Actual measurements (no rim and no air) are about 32.5" by 12.75".

Talked to Discount last night. They said my wheels should be here by Wednesday at the latest. Now if my lug nuts would move from Cali... The shipment was picked up by USPS, but it's only showing "accepted". Got to thinking though, and since I'm reusing my TPMS sensors I'll have to be present when they mount the new stuff. Gonna be next Saturday before I can get everything mounted up. I get off at 5:30 and they close at 6:00.

Lugs came in today. They look really nice for the price I paid. True test will be if they hold up very long. They're long enough that I highly doubt anyone could get them off to steal my rims.

I also got my camber kit in today so they stop whining when I go in for an alignment.

It's got a plate with cam nuts. They replace the factory bolts on the LCA's to make it easier for them to adjust the camber. They did it just fine for years on my last truck up till the last two years I had it, then this one they're already asking for me to install a kit (different place).

Thieves will have a socket long enough to take those lug nuts off so don't think that will stop them.

I'm hoping they're uncommon enough that they won't have one. Realistically, there's not much that can keep thieves away from your wheels. Even "locking" lugs are easy enough to defeat if someone is determined. The key I was sent is borderline obscenely long, but it goes ALL the way down the lug.

It doesn't help that you can buy that long socket from some of the spiked lug manufacturers or even get a regular long socket from tractor supply. It sucks that you can't have anything nice without having to worry about some low life piece of s*** stealing it.

Just went out and looked because I was curious, a normal deep socket isn't long enough. But like you said, it's not hard to get ahold of one of the keys.

Yeah, I figure that's why I pay for insurance and have a $200 comprehensive deductible. Either way, it sucks.
