Wheel Lugs

[meadus101]

Okay, So I've looked around and found very little info, PM'd Ion and he knows nothing, (Kidding man :p )


Are there any special lugs I need to place rims on my car? I have the rims,but i've seen different things around town, different sizes, locking, not locking.


And ones on ebay, who would trust them?

You don't need special lugs, you might want chrome lugs if you're getting chrome or polished wheels tho.

probly depends on the wheels youre getting. lots of wheels require "tuner" lugnuts, like the ones in the link, which are a lot narrower and longer to be able to fit into the smaller deeper opening in the wheel. i think all "universal" wheels (ones with multiple bolt patterns) require these types of lugnuts because there isnt enough room for regular, or stock type nuts. at least thats what i think, regular ones may work on them tho.

I used stock lugs on aftermarket wheels plenty before...

ok...but for example.... my rims, the holes are small and the stock lugs are too big....which means i need different lugs. cactus just comes in and says no when he's probably never put aftermarket wheels on his car. so this just leads back to my point.....dont answer someones question if you dont know the correct answer. :thumb:

You should try that one too... How do you know the wheels in question will need the smaller tuner lugs.

So the correct answer is 100% maybe.

if it was me i would definitely put a set of wheel locks on them, and you might as well get the slim tuner lugs while your out shopping for a wheel lock set
