That's not a huge amount of difference, true, but I was just thinking that the steelies are going to be much thinner than the alloy rims Dave is running, so the studs wont have that extra 1/2" or so in which to bend over a 1/2 a mm or whatever it is. I'm just thinking that the steelies might be a little more finnicky than the alloy rims are. Just a guess though. Hopefully I'm wrong.

 

this thread has gone on long enuff without pics of charger steelies...

 

That's it! Nuffs putting his foot down!

 

I agree

 

yeah! what he said. lol. i actually wanna widen a set for my ramcharger. just the rears. so id need like 6 of them. lol. or stagger it with 16" crown vics up front.

pics!

 

srry about not having pics i dont have internet anymore im posting off my phone an idk how to post pics off a phone lol and there not very thin because there the actual rims off a charger just without the hub caps basically. and i get my tires tuesday so ill post pics when i get them on. $209 for all 4 tires brand new

 

I wasn't saying they were thinner because I thought they were generic or of some other type of manufacture, but because they are steel, not aluminum. Right? If so, steel wheels are about half as thick as alloy wheels. Maybe a little less than half actually. Even with the little ridges that are stamped into it, a steel wheel is usually about .25" by my estimation whereas a alloy wheel is usually around .5" thick where the lugs bolt up.

 

ya there steel. but im not getting what your saying haha

 

Here is a pic of a alloy rim on a 6 lug toyota axle and a steel rim on another 6 lug toyota axle for comparison purposes.



See how much thicker the alloy rim is? That area I was thinking would allow the stud more room to flex, plus the alloy rim is softer for the lug to dig into. The steel rims might not be as forgiving and the studs will be at a little worse angle form the thinner wheel. Again it's just a guess. If you torque the **** out of them you will probably be ok.
