Default lug nuts!

ok so i bought mickey thompson side biters. went to install them and found that the oem lug nuts dont fit. crap. so i contact mickey thompson asking what i need and they respond,

"
We don’t actually sell lug nuts but the type you need is a 60 degree conical bulge seat lug nut. That can be ordered through the dealer you purchased the wheels from or Summit Racing.


Thanks,
"
i ordered from summit. anyways, i am assuming the threads are 14mmx2.0 as multiple google searches are showing this....is this correct?

has any one run into this issue and what did you buy to suit these?

do i need the 2 inch or the 1.9 inch lug nuts. i want black (black rims) but they are 1.9.

the truck is a 05 f150 4x4.

any and all help is appricated as i have never had this issue with cars in the past.


plus if anyone has a part number that i can readily order that worked for you...that be a huge help!

I have your same truck, also with Sidebiters. I ordered mine through 4 wheel parts in a package deal, and I got new lug nuts. I believe, and I could be wrong, that he said they were Procomp ones. They are black and they fit perfect. Also they're locking ones with a key. You could call them and ask about some

All aftermarket rims require acorn type lugs... look on ebay, they are all over.

And I believe your lug is 14mm x 2..

OEM lug nuts are all flat washer type and won't center the rims.
