    Hey Y'all,

    I just had my wheels changed on my 2013 Tundra, and it was brought to my attention that the front wheel studs are slightly shorter than the rear. Has anybody else experienced this before?

    Did you jack up the truck, pull the wheels and authenticate that for yourself?

    No. It was brought to my attention by a local auto shop. They torqued the wheels, and showed me the lug nuts went deeper on the rear studs than on the front.

    It’s the thickness of your rotors in the front compared to the rear over the hubs them selves. The wheel studs should be the same length, but what protrudes is less in the front.
