Lug Nuts for AEV pintlers
h$$p://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_Wheel-Lug-Nut---Locking-Dorman_9100273-P_969_R%7CGRPWHELAMS_104980895
These are the lug nuts that I am running. They were the easiest I found, due to the internal locking design, AEV have a very narrow lug nut hole. They have held up so far, is there a need for more beefier lug nuts?

I actually run the OEM lugnuts.....but you need a long thin walled socket to tighten them up....I bought a second set to carry in the jeep, otherwise you cant change a tire....
even though I have locking lugnuts, I guess this issue is great that only a thin walled socket can remove the wheel, as thieves can't steal them with any old tire iron

URL is fine.
We can't post a clickable link to a non-sponsors product. Cut and paste it, fix the "http" or leave that part off.
I also use stock lugs for my AEVs with a thin wall 19mm socket.
I ordered the MOPAR locking lugs at one time, but they wouldn't fit in the holes.

I cant find a thin walled 19mm socket to save my life around here. Is there any rule of thumb with respect to lug nuts. The lug nuts i have now seem to be fine, but are not as beefy as the stock ones.
