Default Fuel Beast Wheels - Lug nuts?

I'm getting conflicting information on the lugs needed for this wheel. They came with chrome lugs in a 14x2. Searching on this site I found someone saying they needed to go with something smaller although that may be 2015 specific as I found reference to that size there also.

So, what lug do I need and where's the best place for splined nuts?

Fuel's website said ask your dealer. I bought the wheels from CarID and the person I spoke with said he needed to contact Fuel, would get back to me the next day, but never did...

Thank you!

Call gorilla and order a set of their spline lugs. You can get closed end or open end, if the closed would interfere with the center cap or something.

Your local tire dealer should carry a set of the lugs you need as well, I know we do.

You would also need to know if the wheels require a ball or cone seat style lug nut. Fuel would be able to tell you that for sure.

Your local tire dealer would also be able to look at the wheels lug nut well and tell you this.

getting ready to order some methods, looks like these ^^^ are the right ones. probably go with these instead, cuz the finish doesnt look as glossy.

Those should look great too. All depends on preference. In my case I was looking for gloss which kinda matches the paint and sets them off from the matte/semi-gloss wheels.

Watch out with those lug nuts, the socket they give you isn't deep enough and after about 5-6 times of tire rotations the top portion of the lug nut, the black flakes off and chrome shows through. Already had to ditch mine for this.
