Lug Nuts

Quick question, will my gorilla lug nuts on my methods work on a factory spare wheel in case of a flat? Or do I need to pick up 6 factory lug nuts?

thanks

Will work. No need for OEM lug nuts.

Are you sure? The method lug nuts are not acorn type like the stock. If I was running a stock wheel spare, I would definitely get a set of OEM lug nuts to have with you, plus a few spares as the chrome cap tends to swell and can come off.

There is a guy in the Pay it Forward thread giving some away, get a set.

I carry 8 spare stock or stock style and 8 spare lugs for the methods. So no matter which spare wheel is under the truck I am covered. Also I have lost a lug nut or two off road in the past while changing flats so best to be prepared.

2 weeks ago sold my 2010 wheels to a buddy and he had gorilla lug nuts. We put on all 4 stock raptor wheels on his F150 with the gorilla lug nuts with no issues. It is his daily driver.

From what I've gathered...the gorilla/method wheels splined lugs are not "ideal" for the stock wheels but would be totally fine to put on a spare if needed. I ran the splined lugs on my stock beadlocks for a few thousand miles with zero issues until I got my methods.

If I were to always run the stock wheels, I would run stock type lugs (I believe Gorilla recently came out with a fatter acorn style lug that comes in black) that would fit stock wheels nicely.

But yeah...for a spare, my opinion is you'd be fine with the splined lug.

The Gorilla "will" work in the event of an emergency, but it would be best to have a set of stock lugs.

Thanks for all the replies , I appreciate it
