Not sure which ones you will need, but when I got my Hoss' installed, they used different lugs than the ones that were being used with the stock TRD's. Nice choice on wheels btw!!

So the shop that installed them sold you the lugnuts? I was thinking I could get them ahead of time cheaper but I guess I might just let the tire place figure it out. I would think that all of the xd wheels that are so popular right now use the same lugs. Thanks for helping! Points sent

I guess you could say they sold them to me. They were part of the mounting, balancing, swapping over the TPS "package". I just looked at my receipt and it was $120 for all that. You might be able to save a few bucks by buying the lug nuts at an auto parts store, but probably not enough to go thru the extra hassle. Good luck!!

 

I bought my Hoss's from Discount Tire and they came with Gorilla brand lug nuts. I'll look at the box tonight and get the specifics.

Thanks man, where did you have them installed?

Hey thanks a lot man!

 

Thanks man, where did you have them installed?

I had the tires, wheels, and 5100's installed at a local off road shop near my place in San Diego called PG Series/Trick Trucks.

Last question, what stock wheels did you have? I'm curious is my TPMS from my trd 18's will work in the new wheels? If not I'll just make a pressurized cannister.

I had the 18" TRD's and my sensors work on my new wheels which are 18's as well.

Great news thanks a lot!

 

Bumping this one back up to see if anyone can please help!! I called the place that will install them and they said if I require new lugnuts I need to buy them and bring them with me. So some help would be great!

 

How do you know if you need new lug nuts?

 

Just what I've read about the other XD series wheels. The flat type that come with the trd wheels won't catch enough threads so I need the shank or acorn type??? I don't know the more I read the more I get confused. I emailed xd but haven't heard back.

Don't know anything about those wheels so all I can do is sympathize with your problem.
I tried some online research and basically came up with a dead end also. It appears that they take the same lug nuts as the steelies, but I can't find anything to prove that one way or the other.

Thanks for trying! I called firestone who will put them on (not by choice) and they are the ones that said if I need new lugnuts I need to bring them. Tire rack carries the wheels and if you buy from them they come with lugnuts, so I suppose they would know but I doubt they'll help me since I didn't buy from them. I don't know what to do. I guess I'll run to advance auto and see if they know but I doubt it.

 

I found this on the XD website but it really doen't help...

Do I need aftermarket Lug Nuts with my new wheels?
Yes. Almost all aftermarket wheels have smaller lug holes than the factory wheels. In most cases they wont even fit in the holes. Aftermarket tapered lugs are also required to center the wheel to the hub.

 

Last question, what stock wheels did you have? I'm curious is my TPMS from my trd 18's will work in the new wheels? If not I'll just make a pressurized cannister.

I just got off the phone with my Discount Tire guy (brother's best friend... has been there since 1992) and he said that you will need the new tapered lug nuts. As far as the TPMS is concerned, if you are swapping wheels, and depending on the age of your truck, the TPMS parts may break anyway while they attempt to swap them over. This happened on my '08 while getting new BFG's (I watched) so I know it's not a scam... those things are weak.

Hope that helps.

 

Thanks Toy Collector! I have already had three sensors replaced so I know a couple are new. After hearing this I may just put them in a pressurized tube. I think I'll run down to the auto shop tomorrow and see if I can buy some.

I read that the lug nuts I need are 14mm x 1.5 , Can anyone confirm that? I have no idea what that means but may help me at advanced auto. Thanks!

 

The tapered "acorn" nuts will work on most wheels but IF you only get 3-4 turns on the nut before it snugs up on the wheel you may have to go with the ET lugs. Those have the tapered seat as well as a shoulder/shank that goes down "extends" into the lug bore.

here is an example
Gorilla 12mm x 1.50 Thread Chrome Lug Nuts E-T Ultra Tapered Mag Seat, Bulge Seat 3/4" Hex Head

 

I got mine installed at Goodyear Express Tire so you can call them and ask , other resources that are helpful are 4wheelparts or Summit racing if you call those guys they are very knowledgeable.

That's what I found too!

Thanks for your help, I believe this guy fitz hold the answer. I sent him a PM so hopefully he will reply. I was hoping to get these things put on Thursday but it may not happen... Sent you points

How about this:

It's for the Rockstars but I don't see KMC changing much in that area of the wheel for cost and machining purposes. That's how it is in the import wheel market... one universal lug that has a smaller profile than stock.

Thanks TC, That's the thread I was referring to. If you go to the gorilla website there is about a thousand different kinds though. There is a local offroad shop that sells kmc wheels so I'm going to go there tomorrow and see if they'll install them. I'm sure they'll sell me the lug nuts. I will try to find out exactly what they use so I can post it in this thread for future reference for others. Points if I can

 

Hey guys,

Sorry I haven't checked back in. I keep forgetting that I don't automatically subscribe to threads when I comment like in other forums. Anyways, I sent MaylonTRD a PM back saying that I'll remember to check when I get home this evening. I'm not too late am I???

 

Nope I was planning to have them installed tomorrow so if you figure it out today let me know. Thanks!!
