Method wheel lugnuts

[blackwolf]

Good afternoon guys! I recently ordered and installed some method wheels, I ordered the MR305 NV in 17" with +25 offset and had them installed at discount tire. When I saw my car after, it has these super long spline lug nuts and they are a pretty big eye sore to me. Discount tire told me that they needed to install lug nuts that long because the studs on the 4runner are long so then I called method and they explained they only carry the same type of lugs nuts for the same reason. When I look here in the build threads and I see these wheels, I see a lot of people with the short lug nuts. Can anyone shed some light on what lugs they are using? Im being told anything shorter than what i have and it may blow out the lugs. Ive tried the search in the forum and Google and havent found anything talking about this. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you for your time!

at least they are the correct specs, 14x1.5 instead of the 12x1.5

hopefully people didnt get the wrong short ones that are 12x1.5

The same thing happened to me. I ordered Method wheels through Discount Tire, and they installed the same splined lugs. Not only do they look terrible, but I believe they may not be safe, as they do not thread onto the studs past the mounting holes on the wheels.

Extended thread lugs (like those sold by Method) also have a conical seat, but they have an extension below the seat that threads much farther onto the studs. They also don't stick out like the DC lugs. Go ahead and order the lug kit from Method - you will feel (and it will look) much better.
