    So, I got my konig Countersteer wheels a while ago, and I've been thinking how if I get a flat tire, I'll be screwed because the set i have to change out the tire that came with the truck is for the stock lug nuts. Because when i bought the wheels they came with 6-spline lugs from gorilla and wheel locks for each wheel. I want to find something that can replace the stock set to remove the spline lugs off of the wheel, I have been looking and i can't find anything. All I have in my truck is a wrench and socket set and the only option I have out of that is 3/8" wrench with a 1/2" extension, which i don't believe is safe, or will be able to take the lugs off.

    Or maybe if there is a tire iron that has the 6 & 5 spline on it. Thanks for any information :)

    i think this is what you need from wheelers. it will work with your stock tire iron

    I have a set of 6 spline and locks as well from gorilla nuts. Each came with a specific lug wrench and the wrench fits into the stock wheel socket just fine.

    I've always used a 21mm socket to remove the lugs so I'm going to go with no.

    Mine did the exact same thing. Seated 100% properly and using a breaker bar.

    You can get these sockets and lug nuts at pep boys
