GEN 2 I'm a little concerned with these Gorilla Lug Nuts, they don't seem wide enough. Anyone else try these on OEM wheels?

You need the bulge nuts

I have that exact splined set. Thought about replacing the silver lug nuts that came with my Method wheels with the black ones, but had the same concerns as you. I just kept using the silver ones.

Edit: Without the pointy tip, that’s just wrong.

I switched my OE lug nuts out for standars that have a similarly small taper seat as the Gorilla. I even asked the tire shop if they were o.k., they confirmed good. I looked at the lug nuts on my Jeep, and dug up an older set from my FS Bronco and they were the same seat size as the new ones, so I wouldn't worry about it. The OE lug nut size only fit the OE wheels, as aftermarket wheels have a smaller taper hole machined in them, so if Method et al are using the shallower taper, should be good.

Thanks for the input...thank goodness for Amazon's return policy. I need something more like this...

Once you go big and black…

Those are for aftermarket wheels that require thin walled lugnuts. You need the Gorilla ones that are the stock replacements in black chrome that do not have those crappy oem caps.
The part you need is: 61148FSBC (need 24)

+1 for McGard. They have a lifetime warranty against rusting, pitting, breaking. They have a machined seat that acts like a washer and doesn't allow the wheel to get marred while delivering a perfect torque value. Had them on my last truck. Getting for my Gen2.

Get the McGard's and be done with it!

Those look thin compared to the stock cone.

These are from my old truck. Not the ford OE ones. They have the same design for the ford ones.
