100 series lug nut count

[Pitbull]

The 100 series Landcruiser uses 5 - 22mm lug nuts, while the new Sequoia's and 4runners use 6 - 21mm lug nuts. I would think that it would be just the opposite? Usually the heavier the truck the more lug nuts.

Some people say don't trust anything with 5 lug nuts! They mean JEEP of corse

Up till the 100's, the cruisers had 6 lug nuts. The 100's went to 5 but they are bigger.

Junk, I guess 1 mm is important when your measuring somethings but lug nuts

 

[e9999]

well, you don't want the ladies to have too many lugs to unscrew when they have a flat at the mall, right? Broken nails and all...

psst, think they would just increase the size of the lug nut? The size of the stud is bigger.

Ok, how much bigger???

 

[Augie]

Lug stud are only 2mm bigger but its the birfiled that make huge differences. The 5x150 lug pattern are required to make room for the bigger CV joint, a well known problem in 80 series.
