I JUST GOT 35" COOPER STT MUD ON 15" ALLIED D WINDOW STEEL RIMS on my 07 unlimited AND I WAS TOLD I NEED NEW STRONGER LUG NUTS. IM NOT SURE WHICH ARE GOOD TO GET, I WAS HOPING SOMEONE COULD HELP ME OUT .

 

WHAAAT!??? Lol just kidding. Never heard of needing stronger nuts. Ignore that advice. The nuts are only as strong as the stud in which they are tightened down on. Even torque is however important but to upgrade lugnuts for tire size not so much. Upgrade studs and lugs sure get crazy but for 35's stock is fine.

 

You might need new lug nuts if the wheel has a different taper. The lug nut needs to seat on the wheel correctly and each lug nut has a taper or a ball ball end. The wheel manufacturer would tell you which lug nuts are needed to make it work.

The particular wheel you have should be totally fine with the stock lug nuts.

 

We sure are getting a lot of lug nut threads lately.

Almost as many as "will 33's fit" threads.

.

 

Just make sure you put the lugs on the right sides. I have seen a wheel fall off because the lugs were passenger side lugs not driver.

 

Hahaha! Yeah, the passenger sides are counter clockwise!

 

Guys, guys....

 

Thanks a lot for wasting my time. I went out and changed mine before I realized you were joking! :banginghead:

 

^That.

Their main job is to seat your wheel against the rotor and studs, which is what bears the weight.

 

I am not buying it I have two broken studs and stock lugs I beat the hell out of my jeep from time to time and don't worried about it. When I worked at Belletire we had a guy come in with 2 studs /lugs per wheel and he was running that for the life of his tires. I would not worry about lugs or studs so much its just hype to make money.
