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.
That's what I found too!:D
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
 
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!
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!!
 
I just checked my notes on an order 2 months ago & yes 14mm x 1.5 is the correct size. I recall this because I was sent chrome lugs & wanted black (black wheels). Gorilla doesn't make black in that size & tapered nut. And no you can not use the oem lugs. These after market lugs are tapered so it centers the wheels on the studs.
Install tomorrow Maylon & post some pics.

If everything works out I'll have them installed in the morning. I will definitely post some pics afterward!

Alright guys, I finally found a local tire shop that had the right lug nuts. My truck is at firestone now, so hopefully sometime this afternoon I'll have my truck back and all will be well. Here is a picture for anyone that comes across this thread later trying to find the same info.

14mmx1.5 ET Tapered Lug Nut and also the tool they sold me for $12 and the lug nuts were $2 each. I hope this will help someone in the future.

you guys are so clever....

Firestone just called and said the truck is ready! If I can ever get my wife to finish grocery shopping I'm going to pick it up and I'll post some pics in this thread.

Hopefully I can get some better pictures soon but I promised pics so here they are. I had to take off the front mud flaps and now they come very close to rubbing on something behind the tire when turned, maybe thats the body mount? Anyway no rubbing issues and so far it doesn't look like firestone broke any tire sensors.....

Yup, those are the ones I ended up with. They seat on the wheel and grab enough threads on the short studs we have.

The guy that sold them to me at the tire shop said that tundras have very short studs.
 
Is there a part number for those or do you have to specify 14mmx1.5 ET Tapered Lug Nut???

Looks good! White letters out, too.

I am suprised you are almost having rub issues. Keep us posted on this.

Congrats on the rims and those are the lug nuts I just ordered.

I already had the tires on the TRD wheels and had more clearance before. I did gain clearance between the tire and the uca though. Thanks for the compliment. I have always liked the white letters out, but I think most people prefer it the other way.

look great Maylon!
