Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Apr 2001 Posts: 199 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2001 Posts: 199 | I found a set of aluminum 22.5 wheels for my 57 LCF. Would I need longer wheel studs for the aluminum wheels? I am concerened about the thickness of the wheels compared to the steel. My front studs just slightly stick out past the end of the lug nuts with steels wheels. I would hate to spend the money on the wheels only to find out that it is going to involve a lot more work. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | .

Stud Centered Budd wheels I assume?
I'm guessing you'll need longer studs all the way around as well as inner nuts for the rear, they shouldn't be hard to get all. Try Randall at Central Truck and Trailer in Hagerstown, MD 301-797-1995, tell him Grigg sent you.
