Correct lug nuts?

I put 99-2000 Lightning rims on my 98 supercab and they worked fine. Now I want to transfer the rims to my 03 supercab, and it has different sized and shaped lug nuts which won't work. Anyone know the best way to get this combination to work?
Thanks for any info.

Ken

I'm assuming that you mean the lug nuts for the Lightning wheels and the wheels on your 03 are different? I'm also assuming that since the Lightning wheels are off a 99-00 Lightning that they are the 14mm stud size. If they are then they will work on your 03. If they are still the old 12mm size that Ford used from 97 to mid 99 models they won't work on your 03 since the stud openings on the wheels will be too small. If the wheels will actually fit on your new truck you will need new lug nuts too. Your 98 used the 12mm lug nuts whereas your 03 uses 14mm lug nuts so you'll have to go and get new lug nuts in the style that the Lightning wheels use in a 14mm size. Any Ford dealer or good wheel shop should have them. They are for a 14mm stud with a 2mm pitch.
