    I recently bought a 2005 Volvo vnl with a d12 engine and 13 speed transmission. My question is why do I have 8 lugs on my wheels all around ( I didn’t payed attention to that when I bought it) just wanted to see why is my semi equipped that way?

    I don't know the answer to your question.

    I'll just tell you I never cared how many lugs are on each and all whee.ls. All I do is check them for getting loose by hand and rust and so on on the mountain check stops or after bad roads every 2 hours.

    What is a lug?

    Lug nut?

    Lug anchor?

    Luggage?

    A image would help to make sense what you are talking about?

    Because 7 lugs would not be enough.
    And 9 lugs would be to many.

    A true answer is that whatever company spec'd the truck did it under a bean counters supervision. In other words it was
    to save money on the cost of equipment. .....now I hope you pay more attention on the way you run your business than you do on your purchasing of your equipment. Good luck.

    Some is 8 and some is 10, if ever need a rim, that is what you need to know, it's good you see it, because some of these jerk's don't even know what a lugnut is, but trying to be rud about it, we are here to help of we can, and not to be a comic,
