lug nutz

gtxsmitty · 03-28-2010, 03:48 PM

Hey guys, I bought some extreme wheels for my colorado for a deal I couldn't pass up. So no big chrome rollerz this summer. But I wanted to know if I will need new lug nutz when I switch my rims over. I have had steel 15's on there since I bought it in 08. The little black caps that cover the nuts fit fine on my lug nutz I have now. just wondering if there was a difference in taper of the nutz or something. Let me know if you have any input thanks

I'm not sure, I had the zq8 wheels and the lugs were the same

gtxsmitty · 04-01-2010, 05:25 PM

yeah they worked mintus!

Reid007 · 04-02-2010, 12:37 AM

thats a 4/5 drop?

gtxsmitty · 04-06-2010, 06:53 AM

yeah on a z85 suspension which is base model. So thats roughly a 3" drop on a zq8 suspension. ZQ8 is the extreme suspension also. I have less wheel gap than an extreme now but I don't have the 2" lips that the yhave hanging dow nfrom there fenders to look lower. She's dieing for bags though for sure

Reid007 · 04-06-2010, 10:46 PM

for sure, still looks good tho

gtxsmitty · 04-07-2010, 05:11 PM

thanks man! I beat in my front right inner last night at work. and cut a bit of plastic out. Seems to be a bit better for rubbing

gtxsmitty · 04-07-2010, 05:11 PM

better pic of her waxed up

Reid007 · 04-07-2010, 08:05 PM

plastic lol, mine were removed with 900 kms on the truck

gtxsmitty · 04-08-2010, 03:26 PM

yeah for sure. still need a bit bigger hammer. But I don't want to go too crazy in case she sells. We'll see I guess

Reid007 · 04-08-2010, 10:25 PM

ya i cant sell mine now even if i wanted to....

gtxsmitty · 04-09-2010, 04:48 PM

ouch, why didn't you just mold in trailer fenders? its not that hard to do in these trucks and you only have to relocate the battery, new rad over flow loose the windshield washer and slightly move your fuse box and abs. No wire extensions or lines to be lengthened. Just bracketry. and some welding

Reid007 · 04-10-2010, 02:38 PM

cause untill its paid off and i renew my mortgage i cant bag it, and untill then i dont know where the top of the wheel will sit so i cant put tubs in.

coolrado · 04-10-2010, 07:49 PM

I just beat my inner fenders to hell again today, much better so far. It wasn't enough the first time now that I have a little bit bigger tire. Should be good once I get the coilovers.

gtxsmitty · 04-11-2010, 06:52 PM

nice! I actually lifted my truck up at work last night. Just a 2/2 drop now. She's for sale.
Picked up a hardbody cheap cash so I'm going to drive her daily
