Studs too short on new aftermarket wheels

Hi can someone help me out I just purchased new wheels for my 2015 tundra and I can not mount them because my studs are too short did anyone else have this problem

 

@Jimes

 

Got any pictures? What lug nuts are you using?

 

Open end acorn only turns 2 to 3 threads

 

Need et lug nuts

 

Will that be enough to hold them on doesn’t seem like much

 

Show us some pics of your setup. Would help a lot.

 

What lug nuts are you using? Are they conical?

 

NO IT WILL NOT.

^ This..
Some wheels use conical (acorn) lug nuts, some use flat washer lug nuts.
You need to find out which lug nuts are required.

That stated, perhaps you could try some extended lug nuts if indeed they are conical.

 

A few of us used Dorman part number 610-471 9/16 studs. They are 2.5 inches long. But only on the fronts as the rears have enough threads.

 

Here is the info in greater detail with pictures. I use open end lugs instead. Just make sure they are 9/16 lugs. Also don’t forget to mention that your lugs are different sizes when you take it to any shop so they don’t mix them up and cross thread them.

 

Thanks Jimes parts on order

 

When this happened to me on my 4Runner, I still didn't have a great feeling after picking up extended thread nuts. I bit the bullet and replaced the wheel studs. More expensive than lug nuts, but keeping the wheels on the truck is pretty important.

 

I looked into getting custom studs made to keep the M14 and that shit was ridiculously expensive. $1100 for the set of 10.

 

Man I’m having this same problem with my wheels on the front... how about spacers?...

 

The real problem: You bought some random "universal" wheel with multiple bolt patterns.

Solution: Buy wheels specifically for the Tundra.

Also.. the front studs are about 1" and the rears are 1.25".

 

Vtx wheels supposedly made for tundra ‍♂️

 

Thanks for the info on the studs Jimes nice easy fix truck looks good now

 

so i know this is an old(er) thread. but i am currently dealing with this issue in my shop that i run, and i have found another solution. dorman part number 610-004 https://www.dormanproducts.com/p-89358-610-004.aspx?origin=keyword. it is a M14-1.50 Serrated Wheel Stud - 16mm Knurl, 59.77mm Length and despite it showing only a 16mm knurl (the tundra is 16.50mm) i mic'd the 610-004 and it came out to about 16.55-16.60 (there were slight variances in manufacturing i suppose. at any rate we installed 10 on the front of the truck successfully and now the lugnuts have plenty of purchase with just over a half an inch more length over stock, so this seems to be a slightly better option that the 9/16 studs mentioned above.

 

Thank you very much for the reccomendation. I have a set of RRW wheels and im only getting 5 turns on the stock studs with acorn style lugs. I dont believe ET lugs will fit through the bore of the wheel. Do you by chance know if the dorman lugs will still allow for use of stock wheel and stock lugs?

 

Pull your wheel off and see if you can run it down another 14.67mm. If so, you're golden! Also, let us know!

 

No issues when you buy wheels specifically made for the Tundra's bolt pattern. I would recommend getting non universal fit wheels.

 

These wheels are supposed to be specific to the tundra. Hub centric and all’s not at all universal

 

There are many threads that state the contrary. I personally had to use ET acorn lugs to make aftermarket wheels fit but the wheels are still hub centric. These longer studs just make it possible for people to use a less janky lug and in no way effects the wheels bore size.

 

Update, Installed a different lug and it provided me with enough thread to get 12 turns on the aftermarket lug nuts with wheels as well as use the factory wheels and factory lugs. The lugs where these. https://www.blackhawkjapan.com/products/kyo-ei-sblc-1
It took me about a week to get and cost me $150 for 11 lugs and shipping but they are made in japan quality.

 

what is the knurl diameter of these wheel studs? Ours is supposed to be 16.5. I see spline diameter at 16.3 on the link. If that’s the same thing, we’re they loose when you put them on?

 

When I measured them With Calipers not a single one was 16.3. All of them were right around 16.5 and went in very tight. There was zero looseness to them at all. In fact i removed one after installing just to see how tight of a fit they were and it took equal force to remove it as it did the oem.

 

Awesome. Gonna order some to replace the 9/16 ones I have in there now. I hate having two different kinds. I also have fancy lugs to go with my gram lights. Just need matching m14 studs.
