    If you want to smash up the finish of the lug seat then go for it. I would just get some ET spline lugs for them so you don't scar up the wheel they are to beautiful to treat em that way

    Thanks for the reply. I have spline lugs at the moment. Two of them broke, hence why I'm looking at other options. Rather not have to drill out my wheel studs again lol

    Yeah that sucks. Did you use a impact gun on them? That's known to brake them. 100ft lbs is all they need to be tight

    No impact gun. Was actually loosening them, all I wanted was to rotate my tires :eek:

    Use ET spline lugs with our wheels. The lug bore is narrow so using spline lugs will prevent unnecessary damages. We should have them back in stock in about 1wk.

    The Tacoma lugs only need to torqued down to 85-86ft lbs. Over torquing them will weaken the studs and stretch them. This can lead to them just snapping/breaking right off.

    Thanks Vin for the reply. I actually just purchased some Gorilla ET spline lugs and I did torque them down to Toyota's specifications. I was hoping to purchase them from you, but I noticed you were out of stock and wanted to get the old lugs switched out quick.
