Installing Forgestar F14's - Do I need longer lug nuts?

[InMyHead]

I ordered Forgestar F14's for my RCSB, and this might be my imagination, but it seems like people are using longer lug nuts when installing these? If so, can someone tell what me which ones I need to use? If stock length/size lug nuts will work, then I just need to get new ones that are satin black.


Wheels are 20x10, in case this info is needed to answer my question.


Thanks in advance!

Is the offset/backspacing much different than stock? That would definitely affect stud length.

Here is the exact info on the wheels. Sorry, but I don't know what stock offset is, especially since I have the base steelie wheels, currently.

I don't have experience with Forgestars but the factory lug nuts that came with my OEM steelies are too large in overall diameter to fit in the recessed lug nut bores in most aftermarket wheels. I ordered some generic aftermarket lug nuts that have a smaller overall diameter.

Thanks for that info! BTW, your RCSB looks great! What diameter did you go with?

Thanks! Excited to see how yours turns out! I can't for the life of me find the order confirmation, but they are pretty similar to these:

Spline lugs are all you need. Still M14x1.5

You're welcome, and thanks! I'm also looking forward to seeing how it turns out. I'm leveling it as well, but to the front height, not the rear. I'll post pics once its done.

These would work? Amazon is saying they will not fit the F150, but pretty sure by info they give, and the info you provided, they will fit.

Yep, those will work. Only complaint I've heard about the amazon brands is the finishes not holding up the best, but given you're in TX, they probably won't see a lot of road salt or corrosion.

Ok, good. Not too worried about finish, only because I can buy more later, and better ones if they don't hold up, but good point though.

All aftermarket lugs corrode when exposed to salt. I've been through many.

Curious: can't the vendor tell you what you need to do?

Sure, but I've found a lot of places, when you try to contact them, want you to do so via an online question submission form, and then days later, they'll get back to you. I kind of needed a quick answer, and figured someone here would have an answer that would, at the least, lead me in the right direction. I was right. Got exactly what I needed, answer wise, and was able to order them soon after posing the question to the group.

Thanks, again, everyone.
