    I just installed 2" Wheel spacers on my 09 tacoma. The spacers are made by a co. Called Wide Trax, and they came with lug nuts. When I installed them today I noticed that the studs dont extend very far into the wheel spacers and the lug nuts that came with the spacers only thread on halfway. I was wondering if someone could recommend a ET lug nut that would work?

    I got some from summit last year for that same problem. If I remember they were called extended shoulder lug nuts

    Thank you for the response gentleman, the lug nut should be a safe fix right I would not need to replace the studs correct? If you look at my Avatar Photo the two Inch spacers are on the truck and to be honest I really would have liked to have gone on bigger, I was a little disappointed. To me it doesn't really seem too much different from when it was stock, I mean obviously I can see a difference but just not what I thought.

    Maybe aftermarket wheels with a negative offset may be a better option.

    The difference you’re really looking for is a wider wheel. The same exact tire will look drastically different when placed on a wider wheel vs a narrower wheel. Even as little as 1” makes a significant difference. Those same wheels generally poke out more as well, giving you the look you’re after

    You need a extended lug nut. There called conical seat extended thread lug nuts.

    If i were you id toss the spacers in the trash though. They are dangerous, cause nothing but issues and tire wear, and look so silly when people poke a skinny tire out from the truck IMO.
