aaronarf Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) What kind of aftermarket lugs are you guys running? Extended Thread conicals or standard conicals? Just ordered Methods and can't find much info on lugs & thread engagement with aftermarket wheels. Toyota guys all run ET's because you only get a couple of threads engaged with standard lugs. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/198286-lug-nut-thread-engagement-et-style-lugs-or-standard-lugs/ ^Posted here with pictures of the differences if you are unsure...Thanks!! For reference this is a ET Style conical, the extra shank offers more stud engagement through the stud hole on the wheel.

HoosierZ Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I'm using McGard conical seat lugs. My stock lugs are too big to fit in the counterbores on my Black Rhino wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Whiskey Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Depends on tread pattern. Duratracs rub the carpet in that size on a 2" inch Motofab. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk I stand corrected. That's the first I've heard of 275/60/20 rubbing with stock wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sierra Jon Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I stand corrected. That's the first I've heard of 275/60/20 rubbing with stock wheels. Me too haha I was pissed at first but I trimmed the carpet and all good so NBD. Didn't want to do zip ties.

You were happy with thread engagement with the standard gorillas? If I don't hear anyone chiming in on the ET style I am going to order one to see if they will work. Really a lot safer than standard lugs.

Good read: http://wheelprofessor.com/2009/02/20/tech-stuff-13-et-lug-nuts-what-are-they-and-why/ Hell i guess, to be honest for the price of methods i'm surprised they didn't come with their own lugs. I just asked a bunch of guys on here who had methods and what lugs they used. Also emailed method and they specifically noted they've had lots of success with Gorilla. I didn't even look into the style of nut or thread engagement just found out what worked, ordered them, and let my local shop put them on.

Depends on who you order from sometimes they'll throw in free lugs, hell even my method beadlocks didn't come with lugs (300+ a wheel) Gorilla is the only lugs I'll run, just comes down to which style works best on the Silverados Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierZ Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Couldn't wait for winter to end. If they forcast snow I'll swap the stock wheels back on. Calling for 60s again this week. These 10 plys at 40 psi have the same load capacity as the stock SRAs at 35 psi and they somehow ride smoother. I was worried I'd feel every crack in the road. I guess the deep lugs absorb them better. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayutt Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 285 70 r17 BFG KO2s on Mickey Thompson 17x9 Classic Black (-12 offset). Rough Country 2" leveling kit. No rubbing anywhere. Ride is excellent and nearly as quiet as OEM tires/wheels. Very happy with this setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In with the new! 20x10 Full Throttle -24 offset 33x12.5x20 Atturo Trail Blade XT 5100's on top setting in the front. Rubbing rear end of fender well. Not too bad.
