I think Koyote is right... The lugnut is the answer to the mess... Alloy rim use a fairly large lugnut compared to the steel rims...

just mesured with lugnuts on wheel, It was at 7/8'',,, from seated on the rim to the top of the nut, If you need anymore info I can take one off.

I'm thinking as mike said, they are diff.

dodge and chevy's bolt pattern is 8x165.1 and stud size 9/16-RH. the new fords(98+) is 8x170 and 14x1.5 and i think the bigger fords(450sand 550s) us 8x200mm

they have different lug nuts at oreilly's, but they come in 4 packs @ ~$9

There you go,,,,,Mikes got you covered. (As Usual)
