Lugnut size?

[Tbucket]

I don’t know if there is any discussion on this, if so point me in that direction. I’m still a newbie to both this forum and my “new to me” 2022 RAM 1500 Laramie.

We’ll be traveling out west sometime soon and though I find the wheels on my truck, sort of blah, I still would like to keep them. While I abhor wheel locks, I feel that I might want to purchase them just for this trip. Call me paranoid, but I’m old school and when I wake up in the morning from a hotel, I don’t want see the truck up on concrete blocks or the entire truck gone.

So the wheels are factory, with chrome inserts. What size are the lugnuts? I do realize that various manufactures have their own sizes, therefore what fits a Ford F-150, will NOT fit the RAM.

Apologies for babbling. Bad habit. Thank you in advance.

I am looking at the McGard. I just got a price from the stealership: $136 for four lugs and key!!! I don’t think so. And yes my truck has six lugs. Thanks for info, this is exactly what I was seeking.

Also consider your torque setting. A cheap torque bar always sits in my truck, I think Cummins cheap harbor freight stuff. My SUV's torque setting is like 1/2 of my rams. Obviously you will want same size as socket, so just get 1/2 inch on both.

BTW, in case you didn't know, you will want a 6 wall 1/2 drive- deep socket for that, plus what size nut you end up with. 10 times better then dicking with OEM lug bars.

Look at Alpha Wheel Accessories, they have all sorts of stuff/lug nuts.

Just an FYI after watching an episode of Eric O (Southmain Auto), I picked up a set of 1/2 sized lug nut impact sockets for my tool chest. All our vehicles have capped lug nuts and after a couple of winters, the caps swell preventing 22mm sockets from fitting. Sometimes a 7/8's socket is just a bit too big and the half sizes work perfectly.
