Not sure if I like these long splined lug nuts.

Up close they look a little out of place, but they don’t stick out further than the depth of the wheel… I kind of dig it, reminds me of the chromed out big rigs on the road.

LOL.....I hate those big rig styled lug nuts.

Then they look like dog water, 10/10 would replace. ?

For wheeling purposes, I’d probably want them as tucked as possible. Was trying to saving you $40.

I have other lug nuts to use.

I'm really digging the wheel look though. They look phenomenal.

Mind sharing your lift specs again? IIRC, you have a frankenlift vs a kit. With my Mopar lift, the Rokblokz and WK sliders make my truck look like it's way closer to the ground than what it really is... and with the same slider/mud flap your truck looks like it's quite high.

Thank you.

Yeah.....it's a Franky lift. The control arms and front track bar is Core 4x4 Crawl with Johnny Joints on both ends. The rear track bar is the Clayton bent bar for the 37" spare. The rear springs are Clayton 3.5". The front springs are Clayton 2.5". But there is the JKS ACOS Pro adjustable coil spring spacer with hydraulic bump stops. The ACOS raises the front 2" by it's self. And I have it adjusted all the way up. The shocks are 3" lift Bilstein 5100. These are temp for now until i get a credit card paid down so that I can get the Ohlins for the 4" to 5" lift.

Looks great! My brain isn’t working, so…on a 8.5 wheel and 4.75 back spacing, what does the offset equate to?

Zero.

New rims are on.

Looks amazing!

Your persistence and patience paid off!! Wheels look amazing!

Zero.

Maybe my brain isn’t working. Wouldn’t a Zero offset be 1/2 the width of the wheel? …hence -1 0 +1.

You would think but.
8.5" wide, zero OS is 4.75" back spacing.

I am typically not a fan of 'shiny' wheels unless it's an old classic, but I gotta say this looks sharp! Except for that step - which I am assuming is removable. lol

Yep, 3 bolts and they are gone. Needed the step because of my wife's Parkinson's.
