    Help! my truck has 1/2 studs and the mr304's ive purchased have a hole for 5/8 studs. I found this out after installing and driving only to find my wheels completely scarred and damaged. Is there an adapter for the hole ? Ideally would not like to change the studs to 5/8.

    also, i would get someone to check out the wheels who knows what to look for before you use them again.

    If the lug hole size is incorrect, the center hole may also be incorrect.

    Yeah dawg, you probably used the wrong lug nuts lol.

    judging by the vehicle you have, you probably tried using steel wheel lug nuts which aren’t the proper piece to use on those Methods.

    Looks like they are a universal fit wheel. 108mm hub bore and use a 60 Degree conical lugs.
