The build of Big Red (Knuckles)

[OverlanderJK]

so are they not designed to work with oem lug nuts or not lol

The factory ones would not fit on mine. I was also told by a reputable shop that I needed new ones. I tried to get them on and they would not fit tight.

Just opened a box and tried to read the owners manual, there are 3 types of seat types, 60° conical, mag or shank and ball seat. The slabs appear to be conical seat, I think. Are factory rims conical? I just confused myself pretty good.

Ok, so any 60° conical nut or lock. That's what the manual says also.

Owners manual also states these are for racing only and not intended for highway use. I guess I better buy those off you coz.

I could be wrong. I just know I couldn't get mine to fit and when I asked I was told I need new lugs. So I spent the $35 and got new ones.

My rig too has the nuts it was born with while running slabs

Sweet! I'm highly interested in seeing what it looks like on the chamber's. Thinking that might be the route I go on mine eventually.
