No, not all Tacoma and Tundra lug nuts are the same. The most common thread size of a Tacoma lug nut is M12x1.5mm while the common thread size of a Tundra lug nut is M14x1.5mm. In the market, there are various wheel nuts for Tundra. Most trucks use steel wheel nuts. They are usually stronger and more durable than aluminum lug nuts. These Tundra lug nuts are threaded into the wheel studs, with the lug’s seats directly touching the wheels.
Although most aftermarket wheels are designed to use stock wheel lug nuts, some rims require a new set to ensure a proper fit. Commonly, there are three seat types of wheel nuts: conical types, ball types, and flat types. Most aftermarket alloy rims need conical lug nuts. These Tundra lug nuts are machined to the cone-shaped lug seats. The seat part is usually a 60-degree taper that helps the lug center onto the wheel when it’s tightened.
What Are Performance Tundra Lug Nuts?
Most OEM Tundra lug nuts are made of normal chrome-plated steel, which offers proper strength and resistance to corrosion. But you deserve better. All BONOSS forged steel 50BV30 Tundra lug nuts are ISO grade 12. The minimum proof load is 105,700N. It makes sense that higher-grade wheel nuts can bear more force and are not easy to break. The advanced special surface treatment improves the scratch resistance ability. They are surely much better and safer for wheel upgrades.
What’s better, the BONOSS forged 50BV30 wheel lug nuts kit includes 4 heptagon wheel locks and a corresponding 7-side shape key. When the key with hex socket inserts sets the nut inside, the heptagon key fits around the irregular shapes of the nut. This allows you to install/remove the locking Tundra lug nuts. The requirement of a unique tool reduces the risk of stripping the lug nut and preventing the wheel from theft. They add extra security to your nice wheels.
