Wheel Lug Nuts

xbigb4ller69z · 08-12-2010, 07:42 PM

Anyone here know a good website where I can buy work/volk lug nuts? I extended my wheel studs (spacers) Not sure if that matters. I'm currently on the factory sport Volks.

Thanks! all input would be appreciated.

Hmm.. if I'm not mistaken, you should still use your factory lug nuts if you're running the stock sport package wheels.

I think Op is using longer studs and may not let allow the stock lugs seat flush?

But then again, wouldn't the spacers solve that issue? If it was extended studs without spacers, then probably open ended washer type lug nuts would be a good solution, but since spacers are used with the extended studs, the stock lug nuts should have enough thread on them to grip properly.

Don't quote me on that one though. Maybe I'm wrong?

Your probably right.

Yeah the op has longer studs with the spacers..pretty much stuck with the stock lugs..aftrmarket won't work with your sport rays.

so I can't get aftermarket lug nuts because I have the extended studs?

its not that you have the extended studs..its because of the rays sport rims you have..it only accepts the flat washer type lugs (oem)..aftermarket lugs are conical designed..

i dont understand why the aftermarket hasn't come up with any flat seat washer lugs. They are pretty common by now.

It's actually not that common to have washer type lug nuts. Most, if not all, aftermarket wheels are cone/tapered type. And the average person usually doesn't change out their lug nuts if they're going to be keeping their stock wheels.
