    Custom wheels installed on my 21 CM SR5. Problem I see is the lug nuts supplied with the wheel only engages roughly half of the lug nut. Is this normal on the tundras or should I get another lug nut option?

    That isn't good.

    What kind of lug nuts are they?
    Acorn or flat washer?
    Can you post a pic of them?

    Looks like the wheels need an acorn style nut with the bevel in the holes.
    Assuming the holes used are the same.

    Unless what you have on there are super long extended lug nuts, I wouldn't drive the truck 10 feet the way it is...
    I really can't see a reliable tire shop let that leave the store..

    When I had aftermarket wheels, long story, I did notice the front and rear lugs where different lengths.
    But I was getting them on a lot further than your pics

    I ended up using ET lug nuts.

    But in the end, returned the wheels because I could never get rid of the steering wheel shimmy, even after 7 rebalances...

    And welcome to the forum..

    Thanks. I just ordered the ET ones. The ones I currently have are the acorn style roughly .83” long. Looks like I’m losing roughly 1/2” to my wheels. The lugnut with no wheel attached covers the stud only!!
