Lug Nuts

When using a lug centric wheel on an 02 F150 , what are the proper lugs to use? Thanks in advance for any help.

If it is lug centric (OE are hub centric) you will need the beveled (acorn style) lug nuts, assuming the wheel has an area machined into it to accept that style. If it does not, I wouldn't even put the wheel on as with the flat bottomed lug nuts, all it will have to do is move a fraction of an inch and everything is out of balance.
There are multiple types of beveled lug nuts, so the wheel manufacturer should tell you the type.

Looking at the site, you can not tell how the wheel is set up. Check with them on the lug nuts. Would not be surprised if they come with the wheel, as they do not even show lug nuts as orderable in their catalog.

Yeah, I'll have to find out. Tirepackage.com has pretty good deals goin on. I can pick them up pretty cheap, so I'll have to call them for the specifics. I want to go with the 17x9's with the 4.5 backspace and a set of nitto terra's 285/70/17. I think it would look pretty bad ***.

All the wheels we sell come with hardware at no charge. Thread pitch, length, and taper seat all are part of the equation and every wheel is different. So, as you can imagine it's pretty important to get correct. We have a team of guys here that have the sole job of making sure that what you get from us is correct and safe.

I've bought tires and rims from Tirerack in the past for different vehicles.You have great prices and service, but I checked you guys for the F-150 but didnt really see anything that caught my eye. Most of your rims are in the 20inch and up variety. There is not much of a selection otherwise.
