Are ET Lug Nuts Worth it on Toyota Trucks and SUV’s?

[@kevinarcher7701]

Good luck getting the sleeves out when they break off! I’m still trying to figure it out!

[@MidMoTundra]

We’re running the SCS lugs on 5 Toyota’s now and haven’t had any issues. Maybe we’ll replace them every few years just for peace of mind. Thanks for sharing your experience

[@strongocho]

Did they break while running an impact on them, or when driving?

[@kevinarcher7701]

@@strongocho I think someone did over tighten them but can’t prove it

[@bignaps3100]

Would I be able to use these on my 2001 ford ranger? They have an option that is the same thread size. I've been having trouble finding ET lugs for my truck

[@MidMoTundra]

I’d say if your wheels will accommodate ET lugs, and the studs have the same threads you should be okay. I would verify the lug seat on the wheels and the thickness to ensure the ET lugs won’t bottom out on the hub

[@bignaps3100]

@@MidMoTundra thank you!

[@chupy2185]

Do the lug nut center the wheels on to the hub

[@MidMoTundra]

If your wheels are hub centric they will. My Methods are lug centric so these lug nuts center the wheel overall. The Methods don’t “sit” on the hub, but they are technically centered around the hub. Just not on the hub

[@chris22186]

Those keys are a myth. A 3/4 socket or a 17 works just as well.

I tried to install a set of Black Rhino Armory wheels on my 2015 Land Cruiser and found out the lug nuts that came with them don't work. I did some researching and I think I need ET lug nuts, although I don't know if I need Mag or Shank style. Do you think ET's is what I need?

[@MidMoTundra]

I have had multiple aftermarket wheels on Tundras, never Black Rhino tho. ET lugs have always worked on every wheel I’ve ran. I’m running Methods on the 16 and I run SCS ET lugs. I’d run the same lugs if I had aftermarket wheels on our Land Cruiser Here’s the SCS lugs, M14x 1.50 ET is for the 5x150 www.stealthcustomseries.com/products/scs-spline-lugs?variant=27915595459

On Tacoma aluminum wheels lug nuts are mag seat.., can I used cone seat lug nuts.. is it safe ?

[@MidMoTundra]

I would stay with the same mag seat lug nuts with OEM wheels. If they have the washer style lug I wouldn’t use another style. I’ve used these ET lug nuts on all our Toyota’s with aftermarket wheels

[@samnangeam]

Any recommendations on ET lug brands?

[@MidMoTundra]

We have the SCS ET lugs on all of our Toyotas with aftermarket wheels. They have lasted without rusting through our Missouri winters

[@TheGeorgeee13]

I just put some 2018 Tacoma oem sport on my 2007 4Runner should I get aftermarket lug nuts? Or just use the ones I had

[@MidMoTundra]

Aftermarket ET lugs won’t work with OEM wheels, I could use the OEM acorn style lugs for OEM alloy wheels

[@CM-qn4io]

Will these scs lugnuts work/fit on method wheels on a tacoma?

[@MidMoTundra]

I’m using the SCS lug nuts on my Tundra with Methods. I installed the SCS lugs on both of parents 4Runners (Fuel and Ballistic wheels) so I’d say it should fit no problem

[@darknessfalls714]

i ran these lugs with no hub centric ring and Ive noticed my methods are having tons of vibration. Are your lug holes out of round or still like OEM?

[@MidMoTundra]

Hey, I run these lugs on my Tundra with Method wheels and I have no vibrations at all. My wheel holes are perfectly round. Only way I can see them getting messed up is if the lugs aren’t hard threaded on until the ET part of the lug nuts seats into the wheels holes. If they are just impacted on I can definitely see this happening. My local dealer did this and the lug key cracked from being impacted without hand threading first. I do my own tire rotations now on any vehicle with aftermarket wheels.

[@yezkaholic]

I have a tacoma with methods have alot of vibrations as well

[@darknessfalls714]

@@yezkaholic i fixed my issue, I needed the method center hub caps and 12x1.5 Bulge acorn lugs ET No issues after that change.

[@yezkaholic]

@@darknessfalls714 you weren't running a center cap? I'm gonna have to switch my lug nuts see if it make a difference

[@darknessfalls714]

@@yezkaholic no I wasn’t, I was using small diameter lugs too. They have to be bulge for mine.

[@alejandroreyes3273]

Dude this video helped me out a ton. Had to do a ton of research until I found out about ET lug nuts, which are most definitely required for a Toyota 4Runner. The stock wheel studs are very short and the lug nuts that were sent to me by Custom Offsets are just standard acorn style lug nuts, which thread very little. Now I know exactly which ones to order. Thanks a lot.

[@MidMoTundra]

Alejandro Reyes Hernandez I’m glad it was helpful! I don’t think many of the wheel vendors know Toyota’s in general have short studs, I’ve ran ET lug nuts on all of my Toyota trucks and SUVs with aftermarket wheels and never had any issues. It’s scary how few threads the regular acorn style lug nuts grab compared to the ET style.
