    Was told I needed some shouldered lug nuts for my black rhino wheels and I currently have the gorilla lug nuts on it now is there something I am missing?

    Gorilla makes multiple different lug nuts so that doesn't really narrow it down. The two main styles for our trucks is the mag/flat style (OEM) or a lot of aftermarket wheels use a bulge/acorn style. It probably needs to be ET (extended thread) regardless of the seat. If you google up some diagrams of mag vs acorn or ET vs non ET etc. you should be able to find some diagrams and explanations that make more sense than what I can describe in words.

    Top Row is "shouldered" aside from Tuner style. Aluminum and Allow wheels generally need shouldered nuts. Ask Black Rhino what they recommend.

    ET doesn't fully explain it, there are acorn ET nuts as seen on the pic above

    Right, I was saying it most likely needs to be ET regardless of wether its an acorn or mag seat but to look up some pics to see the difference
