Thread: Extended Lugs???

I just ended up buying the SR48's in Black and STEEL bay bay... I love that rainbow chromey color, but its a little too flashy for me

Enjoy. Post up pics when you're done. Let us know if you need help installing the studs. There's a few tricks.

Okay not trying to thread jack but are lug nuts with the 60 degree taper safe to use with stock NX wheels? I have the extended studs and will be running spacers but many places that sell tuner lugs state not for use with factory wheels but the ones I have seem okay. Thanks

FWIW, I'll match that price on ARP studs.

^Post the tricks Ben, or do you have pics/instructions in another thread?



^I'll be in touch. I need two full sets Greg.

Tokes, those are bad-ass. Perfect choice.


X 2.

Please elucidate on which lug nuts someone (like me) will need with B14 wheels. What I am looking for.


I'll be ordering a full set via phone from you shortly.

Also, I might just buy whatever lug nuts you sell. You always hook me up with good advice and product.

My *issue* with my factory studs and B14 wheels is that there is about a thread or two (at most) of stud above the plain ol' lug nuts. OK so far, but the studs still seems a bit short to me.

I'm only aware of "acorn" nuts and straight tapered (60 degree?) nuts.
Which ever your wheel is designed for you'll want to match. I believe our stock wheels are of the straight taper design (the acorn design mostly an older domestic thing). Maybe we need a new thread for this.

Good to know Greg. I'll start sending people your way.

Basically the trick for the front is how to install them without having to remove anything but the wheel. You can leave the front brake and suspension stuff on. The rear I may have a trick or two for maybe as well.

I'll post up the hints when I'm done fixing this client's computer. Sheering Nismo studs on the regular made me real good at removing and reinstalling studs.

I'd be totally happy with that. However I know you and threads. =]

I've never found a reliable source that dictated more than 1 thread be visible past the nut. I have found dozens that say one thread past the nut is as good as it gets.

Frequently Asked Questions on Bolting Matters

Anyone have exp with moroso studs? I have them on the rear (hubs from another member) but their site says not to use with spacers. However they are rated to 190,000 psi same as arp. Is that just legaleze because they dot want issues with warranty/ law suites etc. Similar to kyb's stancee toward non stock springs on their shocks?
