Yesterday going down a road at about 60 mph the light up ahead turned yellow and I added a little brake pressure to start slowing down. The next thing I know my right front tire and wheel totally come off and start's hauling down the road and finally ends up in some trees. I managed to get the truck into the median without flipping, loosing 20" of height doesn't do good for the stability. Anyways I am upgrading my 12 mm studs to 14 mm studs and I need to know where the heck I can get 14x2 acorn style lug nuts, also how hard will it be for me to drill the 12mm holes in the rear axles (I have drum brakes) to 14 mm holes, I'm upgrading alla round. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you had a scary ride so how much damage did you do to you truck in your bad ordeal.

 

LMAO.

sorry i just got a nice video in my head of your wheel flying down the road into oncoming traffic and the people around seeing your truck with 3 wheels.

good thing you were not hurt.

i saw an old POS do that one time on the interstate.
they were going the other way and when they were about 100 yard in front of me their wheel fell off, driver side, and they flipped into the ditch. i was just south of st. louis.

it was a site.

 

Only damage done was a ground down ball joint stud and bolt and a damaged rotor and 5 studs, other than that it's all good. I'm upgrading to 14mm all the way around this weekend.
