I just recently got into an accident due to one of my 20" chrome rims breaking the studs on the brake cylinder....I put these rims on myself...believeing that i did it right....with an impact gun....the ford dealership told me that if i don't have some sort of adapter or something to make the rims fit better that i'd have to tighten the lug nuts every 500 miles... Has any1 had this trouble b4? if so or not...do u kno what i can do?

thanks in advance!!!

a lot of ppl are smarter and take the big rims like that to a shop and have them installed

Do trucks use things like hubcentric rings?

_____

You should never tighten lug nuts with an impact.

I think if you're using torque sticks, you'll be alright, but never without them.

Yea thats true. I forgot about them guys

Corey

They are awesome, but I doubt he was using them

hahaha well i didn't tighten them with a impact...i put them on with one...and noooo i didn't use a torque stick! lol yea im gonna get them put on by Ford when i replace the rim that got screwed up.


im not quite sure what hubcentric rings are...but i don't think my truck uses it.

Hubcentric rings are little rings that go in the wheel to mate the wheel to the hub diameter. They make the wheel fit better to the hub.
