I used what was on my Jeep but I'm interested to see what others say.

I ordered the spline ones too just to be safe! I have had the chrome cap come off the stock ones

You dont NEED aftermarket lug nuts, but the bores in the slabs are a bit tight for a 19mm, I swapped over to spline gorillas after about.... 3? rotations... :yup: I was just fed up with making it so hard on myself for no reason. :twocents:

as others said, Gorilla splined, solid, unlike the factory with the cover on them. Had a couple spin the cover off and PIA to get hold of the cover when it's on.
Take them to Discount tire, worth the few bucks they charge to get the tires off and dispose of them if you're going to toss them
NAPA has RUGlyde, works well to slick the bead up, also SImple Green full strength

Think I’m going to just haul them over to DT in the truck. Have them pull the tires off. Eff this noise. Lol.

High Lift (farm jack) on the tire and use the weight of the jeep. :thumb:

To get the tire off the wheel? He said he already broke the bead. Works great for that though.

oh, I missed it. :idontknow: ... Prybar and some patience... but ultimately, once you push the inner bead past the lip, it shouldn't be to hard to get the rim out of the tire. Atleast with slabs, I've done it and for me, the hardest part was breaking the inner bead WITHOUT a farm jack... :crazyeyes:
IF the tire is on a non beadlock rim, just swing by a DT, and ask them to unmount it. Its not worth the trouble.

that's the issue. the current wheels are nonbeadlock. already decided to let DT pull them off for me. then i'll do the round and round game in front of the tv this weekend.

At some point, if you have the same OEM lug nuts I had - with caps on them, you will need to change them anyway.
