Default wheel lug nuts

So I finally bought my 6" BDS suspension lift, 35x12.50R18 BFG KM2s, and 18x9 XD Addicts but didn't buy any nuts. I was looking at the pro comp brand on 4wheelparts but there are so many different ones so the question is.. Does anyone know which ones I am supposed to get? I know I need 24 but I'm clueless after that. Oh and btw it's going on my 2006 4x4 5.4 XLT scab.

Thanks,
Derek

When i bought my wheels and tires (xd monsters) they came with lugs and a set of lock nuts as well, not sure if that was just the website thing or what, but it looks like Gorilla makes some pretty good lugs

First is the size....M14 x 2.0 this will give the fit and thread that is needed. Now you can go online or go to your local tire/wheel shop and buy what you need.

You also have to decide whether you want closed lugs....this means whether you can see the stud or not. I don't remember if your wheels have a center cap that covers the lugs, if they do I would go with open lugs, may save a few bucks.

BTW I just bought a set of 32 with locks for $45 from discount tire. They were gorilla brand.

Thank you for the replies. I now have a set on the way I will hopefully put the lift on the 28th when I actually have time.

You can buy a nice set of spline lugs on e-bay for 30 bucks or so..
