Question about Pro Comp wheels and Quadratec lugs

[Joe_S]

I have a set of pro-comp series 69 wheels, but they didn't come with lugs. JL stock lugs don't fit right.

Are these quadratec lugs okay to use with these rims? My buddy just put them on and we took it for a test drive on the highway. Everything seems fine (no vibration), but wanted me to ask the Jeep community just to be sure.

Yes, those will work. I got mine on Amazon a bit cheaper. Just make sure to get m14, the jl has metric thread.

Yeah, that's what I bought. The M14x1.5 set. They went on nicely, but my buddy is more of a tuner car guy and not jeeps. He just wanted to make sure those lugs would be okay. Told me to check the torque about once a month to make sure they're at 110. That sound right?

Double check but the first number that pops into mind is 130.

The ProComp "69" series wheel FOR THE JL, will use the STOCK LUGS PERFECTLY--

The only trouble would be if you used some JK wheels--on the JL !

Good luck

I have aluminum rims. 130 seems way too high.

I’m not 100% sure but that’s exactly what I remember feeling when I saw 130 mentioned somewhere. Doublecheck that, definitely.

From a manual?

Nope. The stock JL lugs absolutely do not fit. They're too wide. Tore up my rims quite a bit, which is why I went with the quadratec ones.

I had Goodyear put these rims on back in the spring. I had no idea they didn't fit until recently when I took them off to put winter wheels on. I'm actually going to file a claim with Goodyear because they never should've put them on and should've told me I needed different lugs. This was totally unsafe. I'm lucky nothing happened.

Looks like they let the new guy put your wheels on. Sheesh. I’d be surprised if they make it right or didn’t blame you, sadly.

Right. I still can't comprehend how they thought this was ok. The stock lugs were barely holding on.

Yeah, I doubt I'll get any compensation for the rims, but it doesn't hurt to try.
