    Hi all,

    I'm going to purchase a set of Method Roost wheels.

    I'm looking at 17x8.5" to retain stock ride feel, 6x 5.5 lug pattern.

    Do I need to get new lug nuts for these wheels? I remember running into an issue with my old car and aftermarket wheels. The angle of the seat on the nut or something.

    Any input is welcome.

    Thanks!

    EDIT: Stock lugs are M12-1.5, doesn't say anything about the angle.

    yes, you need splined lug nuts. I had Discount Tire mount my Methods and they also had the lug nuts with the special driver included. No issue.IMG_7001.jpg

    Stock lug nuts use a flat seating surface, these Method wheels require a cone seat which is a 60 degree tapered seat.

    M12 x 1.5 cone seat spline lug nuts are what you need.
