20x9 Fuel Vapor Wheels and 35x12.5x20 Ridge Grapplers on Avalanche Raptor

Just added these and couldn't be happier. +1 offset and barely sticks out of wheel wells. Looks much better than stock in my opinion. No lift or level and no rubbing either.

Related Lug Nut Info

I've seen several posts in this thread related to lug nuts and thought I would pass on what I've determined. Hopefully it helps out if you are chasing this info.

If you are interested in Gorilla there are two options (these part numbers are for black)
  • Gorilla 26144BC are the proper size (14x1.5) and have a smaller diameter that fit nearly all aftermarket wheels we have, however they are 2" long and this length isn't necessary for most wheels.
  • Gorilla 26148SBC is the same nut but in a shorter length. Unfortunately I don't think they come in a kit and must be purchased individually. I found them for $65 they look great, and will be the perfect length on many of our wheels.

Also, a bit of caution. I initially purchased the RRW VS1 lug nuts attempting to save a little bit of money. These lug nuts are of VERY poor quality, however RRW Customer Service was great and took care of me. The powder coating on the VS1 chip if you look at them wrong. I was able to do damage with my fingernail. If that isn't bad enough the thread quality is poor and you can feel how rough they are hand threading them on. Also had one nut sheer itself in half at 120 ft/lb. Had tightened them all by hand, pulled my torque wrench out and was torquing everything to 120 before going all they way to 150 ft/lb. Entire head twisted off and split the nut. Luckily I only pooped my pants when it happened, but it damaged my torque wrench as it let go very violently and I smacked the garage floor with the wrench. Instant refund, and RRW was great, but I wouldn't trust these nuts and it cost me a brand new torque wrench.

@CUSTOMWHEELS4U I really want to get green rings around my Method Grids...what are my options? I have considered a decal to go around the simulated beadlock, as well as painting/powdercoating the ring. But if there was a simple bolt-on ring that could be painted, that would be much better. Any thoughts?

No bolt on rings for the Grid that I know of. A skilled vinyl/wrap shop could easily wrap the ring in the vinyl color of your choice. Or if you find a powder coater willing to two-tone/mask the wheel you could go that route too. This is a Raceline wheel my local powder coater did years back for me. It takes a lot of time so not all powder coaters want to deal with it.
