    I have 18x7.5 Magnum/Charger wheels and have no issues other than can't have the center cap on the front.

    I've had my truck on the interstate doin 70 and no shaking yet. The only thing I had to do was get wider lugs cause the wholes on these wheels are bigger.

    Did they bolt right up or did you have to do some modifications?

    Bolted right up, the lug holes are a bit bigger than stock. But i have aftermarket chrome lug nuts that worked great.

    Talked to a guy at Les Schwab today. He said its not the size of lug, its the type. Make sure the lug is for whatever wheel you are running. He didn't like the fact that I was running these Dodge wheels on my truck, he wouldn't even touch it. Mainly because the bolt pattern is a hair different.

    Here is a pic I found that shows the different lug nut types

    Is your dust cap on the front preventing you from having the center cap on the front wheels? I was worried about that with my wheels butbthe offset was enough that it wa not a problem. I was told you can remove the center cap and use something more flush mounted like a rubber dust boot getting one at a trailor shop. Dust cap only purpose is preventing debris from getting in the berrings, that what I wa told anyway.

    Hope this helps

    I don't have anything on the front. Thats partially why I want to get my other wheels on.
