    just bought some helo 16x8 wheels and was wondering if OEM lug nuts will fit on the new wheels? Or will I half to purchase new ones? And while I'm asking, the Helo wheel is 1" bigger then the OEM wheel on 265/75/16. They have 0mm offset and 4.5" backspace. I have 1/4" spacers. Will these give me more stance or not move at all? Thanks!

    When I got my Method Double standards I had to purchase different lug nuts that were longer than the stock one's. So yes you probably will have to purchase longer lug nuts. My backspacing is also 4.5" backspacing with 0 offset so I'm fine with 16x8 and 265/75/16's but I also have a 3" lift and 1.25" Spidertrax wheel spacers

    Lugs are cheep, just get some new chrome or black ones and bag up your stock ones and put them with your OEM wheels. Aftermarket wheels use the bulge seat lug angle which is 60 degrees I believe and sometime OEM lugs are a different angle

    OEM lugs use washer-type seats on factory alloy wheels. You need an acorn type with a 60 degree conical seat for almost all aftermarket wheels unless they're wheels made specifically to fit Toyota washer-type lug nuts. The lug stud thread is 12mm x1.5, so you need lug nuts to match that thread

    Gorilla Nutz. I think they were 12 x 1.5 They were like these. But I didn't buy them for this price or vendor. Plus, obviously you need 24 lug nuts. Lol!
