New wheels and tires don't fit.. "guaranteed" my ass

2016 Tacoma four-wheel drive. 245 75 R16... New ones are 265 60 r18.. studs aren't long enough to tighten the lug nuts more than a few threads... Not interested in trying to "make" them fit.. is my best bet to send them back? Or is there something I'm missing? Wtf.

 

Need more info. Wheel spec's.

 

Did you get new wheels and are using incorrect lug nuts? Tires have nothing to do with the studs

 

You need ET lugs nuts.

 

I'm betting you need new lug nuts

 

Assume you made sure that the wheel was centered on/sitting on the hub? As others said too though, you also need extended thread lugs with a conical seat.

 

YOU NEED ET LUG NUTS.

/thread

 

ET lugnuts and you will be good too go.

 

What the fuck are et lug nuts? Is that another name for the spline drive cone seat or


Edit ok googled and ya it's spline drive cone seat lol . Never heard them called et lugs

 

ET lugs are “extended thread”. They have an additional area of thread below the cone to catch the required amount of threads when switching to certain aftermarket wheels. They can come in any type of drive.

 

I do have the 12 ×1.5 gorilla lugs..

 

Like others have said you need et lug nuts, if your new wheels require acorn style lug nuts then you will have to get these or change out your studs

 

That's the ones.

 

Don't use impact gun, like the other genius member on here did with this style lug nut.

 

That's good advice for all lug nuts

 

No, impact on lugs is fine if you know how to use it. The “genius” you are referring too didn’t know how to use an impact gun correctly, that’s all.

 

They used to use them on ET Mags too if I remember correctly
