Longer wheel studs or different lugs?

Well went to pick the truck up with the new lift, wheels and tires.And the guys at the shop told me they wouldn’t recommend driving it. When they put the new wheels and tires on the lug nuts only went down about 5 full turns on the front and 7 turns on the back. He said it should go down 12-13 turns. So looks like I have to wait until Monday when I can fins longer wheels studs. Does anyone have a recommendation or ran into similar issue? Wheels are Hostile Alpha 20x10 -19 offset.

 

kind of odd, new one on me. Did the new wheels come with new lugs? If not your old lugs may not be engaging on threads like they need to. 12-13 turns sounds on the high end to me. I have heard 6-7 turns min. before but bigger rims nay require more.

 

I know you can't use the OEM lugs on the new wheels. Did you get new lugs? If you did then I think you're gonna need longer studs.

 

They were shipped with new lugs. But from I’ve been reading a lot of aftermarket wheels may require extended thread lug nuts. I guess I’m gonna run by the local discount tire tomorrow and see if they have any. If I could get a few more rotation turns out of them I think I would be alright.
The guy at the shop kinda scared my wife when he showed her and started with the whole your wheels may fall off stories.

 

Interested to see how this turns out. GL

 

I personally dont use them but you have the option of spacers with longer studs.

 

Extended thread lugs or the correct way is longer studs

 

Anyone got a part number or recommend a longer wheel stud for a 2014?

 

You need to make sure your wheels take ET lugs.

I'm in the process of swapping out my 2015 Tundra SR5 steel 18 inch wheels for a set of alloy 20's off of a Platinum, I've run into the same issue. Shorter studs used for the steelies so now the alloy/aluminum rims wont bolt up. (Why the swap...3 of 4 bent rims and won't balance)
I've replaced studs before but I'm afraid the axle shaft will have to come out to swap the rear.

Anyone done wheel stud replacement on the rear axle, 2015 Tundra?????

 

I ended up going with with extended thread lug nuts. Much easier and cheaper than all new studs were. I haven't had any trouble at all and I picked up the new lugs at discount tire for like $30 or so.

 

+1 ET lugs have more thread (bottom row)

 

I went with extended thread lugs as well from SCS. No issues.

Gorilla Lugs 26143ETBC. Extended thread. They look sharp.

Installed last week. Got over 8 turns with Enkei Commanders, YMMV.

 

You need a different style lug nut with stock wheels. Should be Toyota #90942-A1001.

The SCS/Gorilla nuts listed above are a cone seat style nut while you need a mag style for stock wheels.

 

Thanks for the replies! After a couple hours of thinking about it, I went to the Camburg site that was recommended and noticed the Lug Nuts with a bayonet type of thread. Seems to be what I need. I ordered a set of Venom lug nuts that should work. Sorta felt dumb for thinking of changing the lugs, just ruling out the hard stuff first!
Thanks everyone!

 

Gotta love an easy fix!

 

Can some one tell me why our studs are only this long
