Winter steel rims, which lug nuts?
Looking for advice, will be installing my winter steel rims on soon, and wondering, should I use the factory lug nuts on them, or use a different set, and if so what do you recommend?

The factory wheels are hub centric, meaning the center hole is used to ensure the wheel is centered on the hub. Thus, the factory lug nuts have washers on them and are not cone shaped.

If your new wheels for the winter tires are also hub centric, then you should use the factory lug nuts.

The rims are hub centric, but the washers from the original lugs won't do much against a steel wheel, I'm thinking maybe with vibrations they may make a noise while driving since washer is just sitting there loose not against anything.

For factory steel rims, you will want acorn style lug nuts.

Yes with steel rims you must have the cone shaped regular nuts. Might I ask where purchased your steel rims your 4Runner. I'm in Ontario as well looking for steels for my 2022 Trd Off Road. It has 17X7.5 rims. Was thinking of ordering 4 spare tire rims from Toyota but too pricey going aftermarket. Tires easy to get steel rims not so much around here. Thanks.

I ordered my set from pmctire.com , steel rims in stock size and blizzaks mounted and balanced, shipped to your door for less than anywhere else by a few hundred $$. I haven't put them on the 4Runner yet, but I'm impressed by the looks of things so far.

Thanks for the info. But I'm having the same problem. Even your posted website has no listings for 2022 4Runner. I can order by rim size but don't know if they will clear the calipers and this has been an issue in the past. Does your Pro have 17" rims or 20"?. My son has a 2020 Tundra TRD PRO and getting steels was a issue for brake caliber clearance. Please try them on and let me know. Thanks.
