    here is my problem I have 24.5 I have the old school 1 1/2 lugs on my truck and I am wanting to trade my rims with a buddy who has 22.5 but he has 33mm. Do they make something you can put in my big pilot holes to make them work on the 33mm like wheel balancers or something ? Please in need of help. Thanks

    Sounds like your wheels are stud piloted and your buddy's are hub piloted. If that is the case they are not interchangeable. You'd need to change hubs as well.

    You would be incorrect in assuming that you can just change the studs the hubs have to be swapped as well.IN your other post you state your truck is a 1996 which could go either stud pilot or hub pilot from the factory,I think a good parts guy at the dealer could set you up with the proper hubs heck I bet you could even use your bearings
