To everybody running these PXA lugs...
I got them when I ordered my 8069 wheels and 4wd said they were the right lugs to do the job. After looking at the pic above, I am a little confused because the lug doesn't fit inside the hole on the wheels. Its PXA part no. 21183B, the b is just because they're black. Here is what it looks like
Is this right?

Hmm... I did not know that. Just so that I'm clear, you are saying that these ProComp 7189's are "lug centric" and that when I tighten them down, the wheel should be in the air? To get the wheel to not turn, do I put it in 4WD?
Not to hijack, but what's the difference between lug centric and hug centric?
Thanks!

There are not very many aftermarket wheels for the JK that are Hub Centric, so don’t sweat it to much. Lug Centric wheels are very common, and if installed properly there are no issues. You can always us centering rings if you’re really concerned about it. I believe the JK hubs are 71.5mm, and you will have to find the specs on your specific wheels, or measure them for the proper outside dimensions…
Much easier to just cut and paste this answer for you; right from Tire Rack…
The centerbore of a wheel is the machined opening on the back of the wheel that centers the wheel properly on the hub of a vehicle. This hole is machined to exactly match the hub so the wheels are precisely positioned as the lug hardware is torqued down. Keeping the wheel precisely centered on the hub when it is mounted will minimize the chance of a vibration. Some wheels are vehicle model specific and will come from the factory with a bore machined to match that vehicle. Some wheels are designed to fit multiple vehicle models and will use a centering ring system to reduce the bore size to match the hubs of different vehicles. These rings keep the wheel precisely positioned as the lug hardware is torqued down.
Some wheels are non-hubcentric by design. These are known as lug-centric wheels. With these wheels it is critical to torque the lug hardware with the vehicle on jack stands, off the ground. This allows the nuts or bolts to center the wheel and torque down without the weight of the vehicle pushing them off center.

I had my socket milled down to fit, and it worked, I was still concerned so I bought the gorilla wheel lugs

A good choice for lugs on ProComp EXTREME alloy wheels, is:
JIMBOI have the 7089's and got the spline lug nuts along with my wheels and the tool that came with it. With these aluminum lugs and wheels make sure you retorque after the first 200 miles after the first install. You wouldn't want to lose a wheel. After 200 miles I retorqued to 110 ft lbs. I think the after market instructions said 125, but I wouldn't go over 110. Wouldn't want to start busting studs.
