I agree! Knowing @GLTHFJ60 there's no way he hasn't put them on to "make sure they fit"

Legitimately haven't put them on yet. Have patience guys.

Wow!!! This thread never ends. Is the longest build thread on MUD??? Your truck is almost as crumpled as mine. Only got sick of the rat race of posts on the regular forum so I'm only posting on my local club house of a dozen crusty dudes lol.
Do we have pics with Treps yet?
He’s been too busy working on his house and stacking sports cars in his garage with his fancy lift.

Tried to mount them yesterday and found my lugnuts were too big. Never been told my nuts were too big before now.
Doing some reading and found that some aftermarket "race" style wheels come in 45* lug seats, others come in 60*. 60* is the normal steel wheel lug seat angle.
Couldn't get a tool in to measure, so I cut a spare 60* lug nut in half to verify.
New spline drive lug nuts ordered which should fit well. They'll be here early next week, so I'll try again then.
Also, my upper coolant hose repair from GSMTR a few years ago is failing, so it's time to get that fixed too.

hey there's the other half of my upper radiator hose
Get some 9/16 bulge seat or acorn style lug nuts with a 3/4 hex head and you will be fine.

I got some bulge seat spline drive ones on order. The 14b (aam10.5) has m14 1.5 lug studs, d60 is 9/16-18, so different front and rear. Pita.
lol! I’m in the exact same boat with the 715, mismatched front and rear and I would have NEVER thought finding the right lug nuts would be so much of a challenge

Moonshine's "Sticky Era" has officially begun. The rear quarters are gonna need some surgery before her first outing as you can clearly see.
Love the higher offset of these wheels. Lost quite a few inches of track width, especially with these tires being narrower than the old ones. I think it's about 4" narrower than before, but I'd have to go back and double check that. Just shy of 87" wide outside tire to outside tire on the front now.
The tires come about halfway up the door windows on my cayman, lol.

Starter fluid. Either the batteries are getting tired or the engine is, but she won't start without some "start ya bastard" motivating mist.
The seat bracket before was rough, broken in half on both sides. Only thing holding the passenger in place until yesterday was the sleeping platform and the seatbelt, lol.

Yikes 
I was a common passenger in moonshine on the trail and am happy to see a fully attached and functional seat on the passenger side lol. I love those seats too, I have one in my 60.

Continuing the theme of doing unimportant things to put off redoing the rear quarters, moonshine has a new Jerry can and holder.
