I have a small leak on the right rear oil lubed wheel bearing. I took off all wheels and took them, including the spare, to get balanced. They are the 17.5 aluminum wheels, the lug nuts are 15/16th on mine and they have a washer attached. I cleaned off the oil, which might have been all of a teaspoons worth but it sure made a mess, and mounted the tires. Good news was they took very little weight to balance them.

My 2013 MS has the 8K dexter axles and Kodiak brakes; it appears DRV may have different sized studs/lug nuts?
