G'day,

I SCREWED UP!

However, I remember how it happened and it's MY fault NOT the Eagle Wheel Tech support guy!

When I spoke to him we discussed the AEW-0589-7788 wheel which is the one with the offset that moves the tires out 1 1/2."

AND

The "standard" lug centered Eagle lug centered wheel for a GMC.

http://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/aew-0589-7698

That wheel takes the AEW-ACL8898 lug nuts!

Lug Nut Seat Style: Shank
Lug Nut Shank Length (in):0.580 in.
Lug Nut Shank Diameter (in):0.800 in.

I confused the two wheels and lug nuts.

I apologize if my screw up caused anyone any heartburn.

Regards,
Rob M.

No. Those wheels use a standard conical seat lug nut. Here are the conical seat 9/16" lug nuts we offer.

Certainly an easy to understand mistake Rob, don't worry about it. Each morning when I wake up I wonder how long it will take before I make my first mistake of the day...don't usually have to wait long either! It keeps us humble.

G'day.

A note of thanks to those of you that commented, it made me feel better!

My reason for a separate post is to MAKE SURE that nobody else SCREWS up because of MY screw up! ;-)
