    Just curious to anyone else with fuel wheels. I went to put on my fuel vapors and the studs are short and the lug nuts that came with the wheels barely grab any thread and don’t go into the hole of the rim. I need a lug that will go fit in the hole of the wheel. Anyone with these can tell me the size lug nuts they used ?

    You may need longer studs. But you could try some of these.

    Thats as far as they are suppose to go into the rim so it seats well. but yah you are going to need longer wheel studs for sure.

    Yes,they have a long threaded portion that is below the acorn part so it grips more threads on the studs , ET=EXTENDED THREAD

    Got it. Same thing just a different term. We call them shanked lug nuts in my shop. We had an employee get some for his tundra from a local Napa before when he switched to aftermarket wheels. They had them on the shelf.
