So I was on the phone with a guy who I am thinking of purchasing wheels from, one of those bigger tire places here in Canada. Anyways, he was saying that since I am getting aftermarket wheels that I will need a Spline Kit, which I have no idea what this is nor have ever heard of it. So I asked the guy and he said it had something to do with the factory lugs being too small or something.

My question is, what is a spline kit, and do I need one?

Just some additional info, its going on a 2011 JKU, wheel is AX188 Ledge Teflon 16x8.

Thanks, Nick

Check out this thread for some info

Many aftermarket wheels have smaller holes for the lug nuts. The factory nuts do not leave enough clearance to get a lug wrench on them. Sometimes you can squeeze in a thin wall socket and use the factory lugs.

So its basically a smaller lug nut then? Just strange how i've never heard of it before. Is it common for us jeepers to need new lug nuts for wheels?

Or maybe someone with the same wheel can chime in?

It's more common in the import and racing crowds than ours. It will also keep those new wheels safer from theft too.
