Lug nuts on pro comp X alloys

Just ordered some pro comp 17 x 9 7089, Will my stock lug nuts work on these or do I need to order The pro comp ones. Thanks

if you have the acorn wheel lugs then they will work. There will be some washer/spacer thingys on around the wheel studs, make sure you pop those off to get the wheel flat

You have to use the gorilla lugs that 4wd.com sells, they come in a 20 pack.

The stock lugs wont fit the rim correctly, on top of scraping your new rims, you can loose the wheel going down the road..

I fould out the hard way

they are smaller hole diameters, the stock lugs wont sit properly. Luckly I felt the tire start to shake and stopped. Soon as i did, the wheel fell off.
