Lug nut question

[sawman556]

Hey folks. I got these lug nuts from Jegs for my new 2020 PW. They are different, but the taper looks the same. Just doesn't have the shoulder. Might be a dumb question, but are these ok to use with my OEM wheels? I thought I'd ask instead of my wheels coming off. Thanks!

The Bevel is what seats on the Wheel. Looks to be the same.

Thanks!

Not so sure I would. The bevel centers the wheel, but the shoulder looks like it "locks"it in place. Probably won't hurt to try them. Frequently check the link nuts torque to make sure they don't lose up. Also if you have any shimmy at speed it might be a sign the lug nuts aren't working properly.

I cannot answer that specific question, but make sure they R torqued to 130 Ft/Lbs, at least 130 is what MY 19 Bighorn calls for. The torque numbers there are real close. Can vary depending upon rim size and lug nut type (flange/conical)

That's a conical seat nut (black), and a bulge acorn. Both will work with our OEM rims.

Personally speaking, I think the oem nut seems to have much more contact surface on the bevel, I`m sure the other one will work but I would go with an oem style for peace of mind! Just my opinion....

 

[sawman556]

I'm looking for one that's more like the OEM, but in black. I'll send these back.

Think you have to ask for the bulge acorn just like the OEM.

Got these on the interweb.

I hate that tin cover that the OEM use. either Gorilla or Mcgard have the nice cast lug nuts and both made in the USA or at least used to be.

I picked those up on Amazon. They aren't cheap!

Especially since we need a billion of them
