I couldnt get any sockets ( Standard or Metric ) to fit the factory cladded lug nuts and had to hammer on anything and fight to get them out of the wrench.... I ordered new lug nuts which specify they work for my 2004 Dodge Ram 1500.
The new lug nuts are skinnier and a little longer which is ok with me but the seat is what my question is for, it is the same 60 degree seat and due to the slimmer size they set about 1/16 to 1/8" lower into the aluminum wheel where the fatter factory lug nuts sat up higher due to the size ( you can see on the lug nut where they actually contact the wheel so its really not doing anything with the excess nut exposure, I just want to know if these lug nuts are ok as they are ?
Took it for a spin last night and rechecked, all stayed tight with no issues.
