OK guys ill try to explain this so it can be understood. So i have a pair of 17" American Racing Rims that i took off my old truck. The rims have a recessed hole for the nuts. The bolt pattern and hub cut outs fit just fine. Ive test fitted the rims and they fit fine. The only problem that im having is that the lugs on my new truck are bigger, therefore the lug nuts dont fit into the hole. I guess what i need is a lug that will fit over the bolt, but be no bigger than the head of a 11/16 nut. So heres the size breakdown.
Rim was used with 11/16 sized nut on old truck.
My dodge uses 13/16 ( correct me if im wrong, 04 4x4QC), therefore the head of the nut dont fit in the hole for the rim.
Is there any way i can find lugs that will fit into the hole on the rim but still accept the bigger bolt size of the dodge truck. Thanks in advance.
Just an FYI, these rims originally were on a 2nd gen Ram 1500, then i got them put them on my f-150, now trying to put on 04 Hemi QC 4x4, and i need some lugs to fit. THanks

You should be able to find a lug that'll work. This is what I picked up at the local tire shop.

You can see it's a little smaller in diameter than the stock bolt on the left so it'll fit into a smaller hole.
