    Rims? Ready to go for 5/8" studs and large lugs

    Ok, so the smallest, stupidest things can really be the biggest pain in the ***. Here's the question. Who makes a (15x8 rim) 5 on 5.5, ready to bolt up to 5/8 studs, with the large nascar style lugnuts? The rims I have are great rims from a reputable manufacture, but require much machining to get them to work, which includes maching into the center bore of the rim. I am going to run them, but was still curious who makes rims ready to bolt up. Thanks in advance.

    I've heard you can get Outlaw 2's from american racing already machined for 5/8" studs and clearanced for the larger socket.

    jim conner has american racing wheels already converted to beadlocks and they are available race drilled and spot faced for the large lug nuts. i ran these until i switched to the 16" toyo tires.

    I think the rims ProTruck sells are drilled for 11/16 studs, not 5/8 studs.

    i don't know if they are still in business but you can give them a try... we had some wheels drilled out by them a while ago... they are right near mckenzies.

    Re: Rims? Ready to go for 5/8" studs and large lugs

    Uh can't u just put the rims on a drill press with a larger drill bit?
    I was at DMZ Tim's house and he was drilling out Pat Kapko's lug holes for the bigger studs 5/8's I believe but now if u are also talking about getting the center opening opened up then yeah u should leave that to a reputable shop. Just my two cents.
