Whats up family I have a 99 hoe, and I just got some 22's off a friend of mine but the factory lugnuts are too small what should I look for when Buying new NUTS lol

I just went to AutoZone and bought a locking lug set. They worked just fine on my rims.

I think the thread pattern is 14x1.5mm so you'll need those. As per the style of the lugnuts it really depends on your rims. Some have a tapered seat, and some have a shank seat that fits down inside the lug holes on the rim. Your friend might be able to help you out if he'll let you take one of his to compare, or you could list the brand and style of the rim and we can try and help you out.

Thanks guys like like the holes on the rims are too small for the lugnut and wrench to fit in if that makes any sense. Im not sure what tapered seat and shank seat means Im trying to look it up now but if you guys have any info on that please share

Your gonna need 14X1.5mm like mentioned above. Shank style is old school or toyota... You are gonna need the cone seat (tappered) which is pretty much standard nowadays. I recommend Spline keys, it's like every lug needs a special key and they are thin enough for any rim. Good luck!

The 60 degree taper is by far the most common one, but I wasn't going to tell you to rush out and buy those in case you've got some type of exotic rim.

The spline style nuts nodora96 was talking about look a lot like 12pt head nuts and are usually sold as "Tuner style nuts" at autozone and o'reilly around here.

I think some spline nuts will do you just right

On all my rims I've had to use a thin wall scocket and a brake over bar.

I got a set of extra long lug nuts from tulip city wheels via amazon.com for about $24. I wanted something a little more substantial looking than the short ones, so I got some that are 1.5" total length.

Of course they are 60 degree conical seat 14x1.5
