    I was gifted a set of these (+4) https://www.nengun.com/project-kics/leggdura-racing-lock-nut-set

    A very awesome person bought me these in bronze...I dont know enough to wanna just throw them on my truck. All the info on the box is in japanese so no help there. Online research seems to point to high quality, and that I have the right size.

    Just no info on them on a truck...The vehicle in question is 2005 SR5 DC 4x4 - toytecc boss lift and fuel anza wheels (17)

    Any thoughts, or experience with this type of lug?

    project kics is good stuff... but it's for cars. that cone seat is also for aftermarket wheels. If you have stock wheels, those won't contact the lug seat properly. If you get aftermarket wheels, you will probably run into stud length issues because these are not extended thread.

    Mackin Industries makes truck specific lug nuts in their Monster Lug line. I haven't seen any ET lugs from them though.

    So I've got the fuel anzas on for wheels. I'm gonna obviously test fit when I get a chance.

    I gather if my length is correct I'll be ok? Not really looking for other recommendations...lugs are the last thing on my list haha. Just hoping I can make this gift work!

    Thread engagement equal to the width of the stud is what you need. Some wheels require ET lugs, some don't. My Enkei for instance don't even accept ET lugs as the lug bore is to tight.

    If those are the correct thread and you determine, for example, that you get 14mm of thread engagement on a 14mm stud, then you are good.

    yeah give it a try. Mount up a wheel and see how much stud the lugs will grab.

    Honestly I think they will have too large of a diameter for the lug holes on the wheels.

    I am running rays engineering lugs right now they look very similar to the ones pictures, no problems here, they are very very light. Make sure you check the tightness on them around 500 miles as the heat transfer will cause them to expand and contract a bit over time

    Alright, so Im getting right at just about 12mm of thread engagement. Kind of hard to get exact measurement but It is right there.

    Id prefer a little bit more honestly but going by the thread engagement equal to stud width - Im there. barely.

    I didnt leave em on, but I havent ruled it out yet. Gonna do a lil more research/diggin.

    Thanks again yall!

    So far they are going strong zero issues besides them look pink at times due to brake dust
