My question is, I am planning to wrap them in some Michelin LTX A/T2s and was curious if I need to change my lugs/get lug extenders.

I haven't been able to get an exactly straight answer from searching, sorry guys .

FWIW I plan on running 265/70/17 Michelin LTX A/T2s

 

unless you have aftermarket rims now, you'll need some tapered 'tuner lugs' as they're sometimes called.
265's are a bit of a stretch on a 9" wheel just so you know.

 

I i had to use spacers due to a 5.0 bs and the shop did install newspaper longer lugs and even then its a close fit. They look sharp though.

 

The ones I am looking at in that link are 4.5 bs.

And what is a tuner lug? This is the first time I have seen that term used.

 

Do you think that the tires will be too wide?

thats my wheels same size tire u want n theyre good to go but i rub n havs flaps off

 

Like these http://www.jcwhitney.com/small-diameter-lug-nut-sets/p2003846.jcwx?filterid=c3863u0j1

Opposite actually, they're a bit narrow and will have to stretch a bit to seat on the 9" wide wheels.

 

Also, you can c them on the stock truck in my profile.

 

Hmm. So Ideally I would try to get a 275/285 to try and fit better?

 

get an 8" wide rim instead. You will have more options for tires sizes now and in the future.

 

This is a tuner lug, also refered to as "spline-drive"

 

Guess I will have to try and find an 8 inch rim.

 

Thanks for the help guys.
