    Hi Everyone

    I have a 2012 Prius Package 2 with OEM 15" wheels/tires now.
    Would I need a new set of lug nuts to install a set of OEM 17" wheels/tires? or can I still use the same lug nuts from the car?

    Thanks a lot!

    Almost all the time you'll have to get tuner lug nuts like Muteki and locks if you don't want them jacked.

    Since you're going to the OEM 17s, you can use the original lug nuts. Most aftermarket wheels use the acorn type lug nuts though, FYI.
