26's mounted up finally...couple questions

[BEEMDUB]

Bought some tires online and had discount tire mount and balance for me, initial impression is that I love the look, but the ride is ****** as all hell (which I knew it would be). Now here is my big problem, I can't get one lug on the front left wheel and one on the rear left wheel to go on the stud! its like they won't grab the thread? Any ideas on what to do, I'm rolling around with 5 out of 6 lugs on two wheels right now, I know its not safe, I'm avoiding highways I don't drive much everyday....Kind of contemplating if I should trade someone these for 24's, love the look, idk why my gut feeling is scaring me haha

Looks great. And as far as the nuts not threading on, I'd say the studs are probably stripped. You can have someone replace them if you'd like, or take a thread file and try cleaning the threads up until the nuts start on and thread all the way down cleanly. I wouldn't leave it this way forever, but as long as the five studs on each wheel are properly torqued, your wheels aren't going to fall off. Lol. No need to avoid driving your truck because of this. Just keep an eye out every so often and make sure they're not loosening until you get around to fixing it.

ETA: Also, check the threads inside the nuts to be sure they aren't messed up. If they are, its much easier to buy two replacement lug nuts than it is to replace two studs on two different hub assemblies.

I torqued every lug on the truck to 110 ft lbs using a torque wrench, I will check everything you said later when I get home to my garage, its bothering the hell outta me not having them on here lol

Yeah, you'll be fine for the time being, but I'd definitely fix it eventually. Like I said, make sure its not the threads in the nuts that are messed up. If it is, easy to find a couple replacements.

Replace the studs and get new lug nuts. Also the torque for GMTs are 140 ft.lbs.
