Typically when something like this happens, the retailer is responsible for all costs associated with exchange. Assuming of course you ordered the correct part and they shipped a different part. Still a bit of a hassle but, they should exchange for correctly ordered part and refund shipping cost.

Where did you order from? Might be helpful for other folks to know to be more careful when ordering from them.

Good luck.

Are you sure that they are 20mm? That is frigg'n huge! Something you'd find on a Freightliner

I'll be they are 1/2", and there is nothing wrong with them other than you have to use different lugnuts. I am running them on my fronts.

Now convenience of matching lugs is another thing. The retailer may work with you if you did not get what you requested. If it doesn't work out that way you can pick up stock studs for your S-10 at an auto parts store and have them pressed in at a machine shop. The studs will run around a buck a piece, and if you have a friend with a press you can probably get them pressed in pretty reasonable.

I got the spacers on I went to Pep Boys and got the right stuff and yes HJ they were 1/2s but I emailed them as soon as I figured out they were wrong and they send me an Email less then an Hour later stating they would send me the correct lugs and studs so I will have an extra set

here where I got them from SPACERS It only took me 3 days to get them.$81.50 shipped

Not too bad

and they look like the large diameter spacers.

Be sure to press those studs in. It is tempting to drive them in with a hammer and punch, but a press does less damage and sets them straight.

ALL I did HJ was go get 10 lugs at the stock size to install spacers and get 10 new Lugs at the 1/2s to install my wheels seemed to work just fine and rolls as smooth as when I got my CC so I didnt remove the studs.

HMMM with the BL and spacers maybe now its a ZR2 CREWCAB

I think if you park side by side you will find yours maybe even slightly taller when you both have the same size tires. The Z still might be a little wider.
My friend with the Highrider said that He wished he had gone the direction that I did. Mine with all the add-ons came to about the same as what He paid for the RPO ZR2.

Now if we just had a good option for flares, *KCustom

, then we would really be set
