is it ok to use the washer style lug nuts for steel wheel? (1 Viewer)

[bobNoobie]

The end of the washer OEM lug nut that comes with the LX470 is acorn in the end

is it ok to use this for winter time with the Tundra steel , picture below?


Mine comes with this part 90942-01103 lug nut I believe.

I wouldn’t. Get the acorn style. I got mine on Amazon. The brand was Gorilla and they were cheap.

These are made like this to be used dual purpose for both the tapered seat and washer style wheels. The idea is that some variants have tapered seat steel wheels as the emergency spare and washer seat alloys as the standard wheels. That's why they're $10 ea to buy new ones from Toyota.

Thanks, Yes they are 13/16" drive. I would need to carry an extra tire iron for it. I wish gorilla got the 7/8 drive one

I don't like the adapter too.

Alloy Shank lug nuts on steel wheels

Hey There- Recently, I switched out the hubs on my Venturcraft Trailblazer trailer to 6 lug hubs. So I can run the same size wheels and tires all around. I have the 5 star aluminum wheels on the 4runner. On the trailer I have the 16" steel wheels used as spares on the the 3rd gen 4runner, 1997...
