So I bought some Fifteen52 Metric HD wheels which I still think are some of the best-looking wheels, I installed apex deflators, which the lip of the wheel protects really well. Now comes the issue... So the wheels are 0 offsets, which I was just going to live with, but now I see is a terrible idea. What I did not do is test mount the wheels first, very dumb. The tires are the Falken AT4W 285/70/17 load E.
Once I got the wheels on the truck, I could see there were no threads to engage with the lugs nuts. I was trying to use the Gorilla Automotive 76644NBC locking lug nuts. There is about a 1/2in lip between the lug nut hole and the back plate of the wheel, while the stock wheels can't be more than 1/8in. Started going down the rabbit hole, on other threads of finding longer wheel studs. This is the best I found, as far as I can tell it's 10mm longer than stock. At the very least I need to fix that busted-up wheel stud.

What I cannot tell, is if these aftermarket rotors are causing some of the issue. I am going to get them replaced but don't have the stock ones on hand to test the size. How long are the studs out from the brake rotor on stock rotors?
I am debating on just selling these wheels and getting method 703s gloss titanium instead, with the method extended lug nuts. It's a +35 offset, which it sounds like other people can run with no problem. The only question is that it will probably be a month or two before I install the lift kit. I know that rock warriors with 33s fit this with no lift, not sure about the methods. The method support guy told me that the 703s should fit the Toyota wheel studs with no issues with their lug nuts. Since I've seen no other posts, I assume this is true.
