dds92780 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 So i have an R model with aluminum steer wheels and i was using the 1 1/2 inch - 2 inch lug nut covers by roadmaster. The problem is that a lot of them do not fit. (too loose) In the past i have used electrical tape on the nut itself so that when i put on the cover its a tighter fit, I still managed to lose a few of them though. I just got my wheels professionally polished the other day and i want the nut covers to go on without being loose. Isn't 33mm about the same size so maybe i can try that? Can someone point me in the right direction? What do you all use? I am tempted to just order a pair of 33mm cause if you do the math 33mm converted to inches is about 1.3 and if 1.5 is too big then i don't see why not use that? Quote Slow and Steady Wins the Race!

David Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Use 1.5 inch and a touch of silicone. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31934-r-model-steer-axle-lug-nut-sizes/#findComment-194149 Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stacksuperdog Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 If your studs are longer enough they have the ones that screw on. I didn't even know until one day i couldn't get them off and then screwed them off.

keg1 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 If they're hub piloted they probably are 33mm. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31934-r-model-steer-axle-lug-nut-sizes/#findComment-194155 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dds92780 Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 I might just try the touch of silicone since you don't really ever plan on taking off steer wheels too often to change a tire right?

rsb502 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 In my experience any 1.5" lug nut cover is a pain to keep on, the plastic especially, I always add a dap of clear silicone to each side then slide it on and it stays put. The 33mm is for hub piloted wheels and will not fit over a stud piloted lug nut 1.5" equals around 38mm, as for the crew ons they work great but I have only ever seen them for hub piloted 33mm lugs.
