Quick question. I installed my new (Vince) SVT center caps this weekend on my Method Mesh wheels. Can I go back to using the stock lug nuts? Or must I continue to use the ugly, long lug nuts that worked with the Method center caps?

Thanks.

Stock lug nuts will NOT work on Method wheels. The stock lugnuts acorn will not fit down and torque properly. I saw a guy last Raptoberfest that used stock lugnuts on his methods and ended up ripping his wheel off and cause a shit more damage to the rear end when that happened as you can imagine.

There are other shorter lugnuts that will work.

Or two sets if you have 2 stock spares. Doh. It's always the small details that derail a plan at times.

I don't have method wheels on mine but the ICON wheels use the same Gorilla lugnut. I choose to get 6 wheels and take off all stockers. :)
