    Search Amazon for these:

    Gorilla Automotive 21133ET Extended Thread Small Diameter Lug Nut - 12-Millimeter by 1.5 Thread Size - Pack of 20

    Good luck finding a black version. I went stainless and they look fine. Don't forget a set of wheel locks to get up to 24 lugs.

    And 0 degree offset is the right choice on a non-lifted truck. They'll rub less and they look better.

    I have -10 and LOVE the look. It doesn't stick out as far as you would think. It makes it look a lots more aggressive honestly.

    It does look good. But it also can make it rub flaps and such more due to scrub radius. Just some info to think about. And a little extra wear on hub bearings

    Plus that much more shit gets thrown up on the side of the truck. At least with Hankook Dynapros in 265/75/R16, the 0 offset aligns the edge of the tread perfectly with the edge of the fender. The sidewall curves out past the fender and throws some mud up the side sometimes, but I couldn't stand tread flinging rocks up into my paint constantly if they stuck out any more.

    This is probably a dumb question and already answered but do I go through the OP for these wheels or discount tire? Thanks.

    Dicount tire is where I got mine as well. Just so you know jon4x2 just put mine in his truck as well. I'm going with the konig 6 shooters for a little weight decrease

    I got mine at discount tire as well as gorilla lugs which will be needed. Your stock lugs are too big to fit in the hole

    2016 TRD OR AC MGM
    3/2 lift, TRD Pro wheels, 275/70/17 KO2's
    I have a 2016 TRD OR in MGM on order and looking to get the Level 8 MK 6 wheels, but have a couple questions.

    Anyone know how close the matte gunmetal will match the MGM paint? If it's not really close, I'll probably go with black instead.

    Trying to decide between the 0 offset and -10 for the 16x8's. Thinking about going with 265-75-16 KO2's, but not set on that size. Do you think I'll have any fitment issues with this? Planning on an OME 3-2 lift.

    I'm expecting the truck to be in around 2nd week of Dec. and trying to get wheels, tires and lift sorted out and ordered to have when truck gets here.

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Me too. I waited until I needed another set of tires, and they were running a deal on the tires and a deal on the wheels. DTD mounts, balances and ships free, so UPS delivered them and I bolted them on. Didn't need to see the inside of a tire shop or shell out for mounting. Super convenient.

    The gunmetal I believe is lighter than the mgm. Should still look good though

    I'm not the most familiar with the 16' but from what I'm seeing with a 3 inch lift, 285s will clear fine with probably either of those wheel set ups and will fill the wheel well a heck of a lot better

    Thanks for the reply. I am leaning towards the black unless I can see the gunmetal next to an mgm before purchasing - which I'm guessing is unlikely.

    From the Gen 3 threads I've read through, seems to be hit or miss with the 285s rubbing.
