Lugnut size question

[RT70808]

Does anyone know the stock lugnut size and the size of the Mopar/Mcgard locking lugnut key off the top of their head?

I just got one of these to keep in the truck with my other tools for the just in case tire change and need to buy the appropriate 1/2 sockets to go with it. I don’t like being unprepared when I drive several hours towing the boat on a multi day fishing trip. I’d take the kitchen sink with me if I could.

Lug nut thread is M14 x 1.5, and takes a 7/8 socket.
Don't know the size of the lug lock key.

Usually the lug nut key is the same size.

While a 7/8" may work, the correct socket to use is a 22 mm. Torque to 130 Ft-Lbs (176 Nm)

^^Exactly what he said.
I got a 7/8" socket last weekend which does fit the lugs and the special Mopar socket just fine. There's a little play but you can torque down to 130lbs no problem with it.
I believe the 22mm would fit a little better and would have purchased that one had I known.

7/8 = 22.225 mm, enough to bother me. I change out tires 2X a year.

Can I just use my impact wrench to put new lugs on or do I need a torque wrench? If so, what does the torque wrench need to be set to put lugs back onto a 2020 bighorn?

 

[Neurobit]

Yes, you can use an impact, but just to do the initial tightening. Finish with a torque wrench though (specs below).

Anyone know if this is the same length lug nut as stock? I dont want longer lug nuts.
Id like to order black lug nuts, but most seem to be 2" long or only a 20 pack.
These say GM style, but are they the same?
(I dont have my truck handy to measure)

Thanks. Those look like the same ones I was looking at.

They will work great so don’t hesitate to buy them.

Thanks for the Amazon link. The black ones do not look black but more of a diminished black chrome. How are they in person?
Thanks

Check out the reviews. There are a lot of complaints about those lug nuts rusting. I'm sure if you live in a warm climate, they would be fine. If you live in a snowy climate, I would look elsewhere.

Thanks as I did read the reviews AFTER I posted on here....DOH. I think I will stick with something else. I like the McGard ones and might go that route.

I bought the McGard's because of their guarantee against rusting. As for your comment about the Amazon lug nuts color looking like chrome...the McGard black lug nuts are black chrome. It appears that is the only way to keep them from rusting. They don't quite match the matte black color of my wheels, but they sit flush with the surface of my wheels, so it's not very noticeable.

Eh, yeah, I didnt read reviews because they had a 4.5 star rating. But Ill pass as well. They do seem too cheap to be any good lol. Everything is expensive for these trucks.
The stock chrome ones dont bother me too much. I dont think im paying $200 for lugnuts

The black chrome that you have on your truck look sharp. I have the black OEM wheels on my truck so I am pretty sure I am going to go with the McGard ones as well. The best place I found them was on Amazon so not sure if its the same set you have or not.

Are you sure these are McGard? I've been burned more than once on amazon with knock offs. Not saying these are but doesn't look like McGard packaging. I'm not enough of an amazon sleuth to know for sure.
