Anyone here using the stock lugnuts on Crager Soft 8's? Any issues?

 

I use the stock nuts, haven't had a problem yet.

 

what he said

 

x3 Using stock lugs and locks on Cragars with no problems whatsoever for well over a year.

 

Thanks guys, I think I'll go with new ones though like jkdoc said. The cone on the stock lugnuts doesn't look right.

 

mine fit fine which crager wheel did you get, i had the soft 8

 

I believe they all say 60* conical lugs for the cragers. Honestly I never even thought about it but the stockers are closer to 45* I think. Once I switch over to the cragers permanently I'll probably look at getting new lugs as well since that is the "correct" thing to do. Obviously the stockers do work in a pinch and certainly will hold the spare on.

 

Im am confused .... there are other lug nuts that stock ???

I am using the ones from my stock tires .. I have soft 8's. No problems at all. Been running them for 9 months. Well ... 7 1/2 months cause my jeep wasn't running for a month

 

The stock lugnuts are conical. The Cragars are conical.

From the Gorilla lugnut website:

All Acorn lug nuts have a 60° conical seat.

So , does it matter how much of the cone is showing behind the lip of the lugnut? I never noticed it before with the stock rims on.I re-torqued after the first 50 miles and I keep checking the torque everyday and it hasn't budged. The tire shop I bought my spare from and mounted and balanced all ,asked if I had new lugnuts, they don't carry carry crager rims. I had ordered them from summit.
