Looking to 305/55/20 on 20x9 +27 offers with 2.5" Motofab front kit with 1.25" hub centric spacers to clear UCA's and a little wider stance. My question is what lug nuts should I be looking for? Not buying the OEM lugs as they are crazy priced. I know I need 14MM's just don't know what angle and length.

 

Anyone?

My opinion is I wouldn't use a spacer.

 

But eBay has oem lugs for like 50 bucks shipped

Just in case you're not aware, the 1.25 inch spacers won't clear the studs. You'll have to cut down the studs to use that size spacer.

 

Ive heard only the 1.75 and up will clear the studs.

 

This does depend on exactly what style wheels you have; some have a pocket milled into the back of the wheel, that will allow the use of smaller spacers and still clear the studs, but I'm thinking you don't have those wheels if you have the +27 offset wheels, so again they won't clear the studs with the 1.25 spacers.

 

If you're fine with cutting the studs, it will work. Let us know, I'd be interested on how it goes.

Eh shit! I wasn't aware of that! Yeah I am not going to be cutting the studs, especially if I want to run a stock setup in the winter.

 

Looks like I will be looking for a 1.75" spacer now! I want to run the GMC Sierra "Snowflake" rims on 305/55's without having to worry about rubbing. Ive seen guys run the 1/4" plate spacer but I have never had luck with those at all.

 

 

As far as lugs these are what I would like to run but there's only 1 member via searching that is running a spike style lug.

1 member here that I've seen yes but everyone and there mother has those now. They do look good but my personal opinion they have to be on a billet wheel

 

Those also cost double If not triple what oem lugs cost

Yeah must not be a Midwest thing yet, cause I have only seem them on a few duallys. I cannot find these cheap OEM lugs your talking about. Also I am looking for black ones....

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
