Most wheels are 29717 19.5x6 8lug 4handhole /30mm lugnuts try Rixson tire but they are not cheap plus do not forget lugs are on 425 foot lbs. you will most likly need to call for road service. and most can fix the tire with a tube any way. Most tires are are all so nit cheap approx $350 each not counting install and balance . I figed that it would cost over $650.00 for a mounted spare and where do you put it and how many locks do you use plus a floor jack or least bottle jack and a 4-5 foot johnson bar and spare pair of nuts to breake the lugs. Good luck and tell how you make out.

Are You Saying That If I Do Get The Lug Nut Free That The Stud May Start To Back Out Of The Hub

I think he's talking about Kahunnas :nutkick: it takes to break 425ft/lbs by hand.

That Was Kinda What I Thought. Nothing A 3/4 Drive Breaker Bar And A Four Foot Bar Wont Fix.
