The budcaps are Dayton 13-3005R & 13-3005L ($1.50/each)
The outer lugnuts are Euclid E5977L & E5977R ($0.55/each)
I would suggest replacing ALL the current budcaps & outer lugs w/new ones.
I guess it could be done. I am not worrying about it unless they somehow loosen up, and then all I will do is change out the studs w/longer ones.
Keep in mind, these will be torqued to around 400lbs....not much will loosen up.

All 3 axles use the same L&R wheel studs.
A budcap is what holds the inner rear tires on, and then the outer rear is placed over the budcap & is held on with a rear lug.
Front lugs have a small inner hole that holds directly to the stud.
Rear lugs have a large inner hole that holds directly...
I will post the Euclid part # here tomorrow when I call my truck shop.
Luckily, they are still in production & are readily available. You will also need the L&R rear lugs to go on them! ;)
I checked it out on my truck today. The budcap trick is what I needed...THANKS! :)
You will need to put the budcaps on ALL the wheel studs before you put the lugs on (front & rear). It gives the extra length needed, and it also fills in the hole a lot better.
I wanted to see how the hemtt rim would look on my M813 this evening....so I pulled the stock rim off & put the hemtt rim on. Just so everyone knows, the stock wheel studs are too short for these rims. Looks like they need to be AT LEAST another 1/2" longer.
Does anyone know the part # that...
