They'll know what they need. FYI I ordered mine from Tirerack, and they'll arrive fully mounted, balanced, TPMS sensors installed, and with the lug nuts and centering rings. The installer will simply need to swap them out and run the TPMS setup.
thanks, yeah I'm using proper cone seat lug nuts, I was asking about how much thread engagement people are getting on their aftermarket rims/lug nuts, the front lugs seem short
Ok all, I have gone to Wheel TEC Twice now this is what I have learned. The Vossen wheel Hfx-1 20x9 with a +20 offset is the very best you can do to keep them from poking out from the fender to much and no cutting or modification or added hardware. If that is the look you are after. Which I am. You will also need to order all new Lug Nuts for the aftermarket Wheels. (cannot use OEM lugs not safe) But you can use OEM tires which came on my Premium+ GX550. Then when I replace tires in the future I can go up to LT275x55xR20 BF Goodrich which look great with no Modification. Old tire is 265x55x20. I hope this helps.

Sounds like exactly what I said. It’s the least aggressive fitment in 20”, but Vossen only lists +18 in 20x9. Please post some pics once you get them on.
question for those who've gone aftermarket, are your lugs feeling a bit short & did you get longer lug bolts? I test fit a custom 18" rim and I got six full rotations on the lug nuts tightening by hand on the front, I assume with using a proper torque wrench I'll get 6.5 to 7 full rotations
I just asked Vossen this and they recommended I stick with the conical lugs they ship with the wheels. Personally I tried the ET style lug nuts but you need to check them very carefully. The ET lugs I purchased seems to have a narrower seat and it almost felt like the seat wasn’t wide enough for the lug hole. After talking to my local wheel shops I removed the ET lugs and I am sticking with the regular cone seat lugs. The new tundras have the same issue and they have been installing aftermarket wheels with regular cone seat lugs for a few years now with no issues, just make sure they are torqued properly
