Thread: Extended Lugs???

The SR48-32905N lugs are "Neo Chrome" in color and look like a chromed titanium lug with heat color change.







^Color makes a difference. The SR48 neos are the ones I scored. I believe they were listed at $100+ everywhere when I was searching for them.

Very good to know, thanks!!!

Aha. Never mind.

I read the thread twice to make sure I was ordering the right size for my ARP studs. I still missed the higher price on the Neo Chrome ones.

I followed Ameen and went with plain old black. Should look sweet.


Edit....pretty cool feature is that the Forum asks you if you want to proceed when bumping old threads. I liked that.

^I noticed that today as well when I bumped an old thread about surround sound options.

I think it is to discourage any newbs from randomly bumping old threads.

In this case, I *thought* I had additional information about pricing. Call me a newb.

Edit: Added this thread to the Suspension Thread.

I have ARP and some Aluminum Lugs on my 200. Old pics from P.O. The lugs are all installed

I use the lexus ones. The have the same knurl as the nismo and they come in 12x1.5 which more lugs are available with better pricing

Those switching to 1.5 thread pitch on the wheel studs, have you figured out how much the torque spec should rise to get the same clamping load and changed your torque regiment accordingly?

That's a mod we recently installed. Down with necroposting!!!

No sure I see this Ben. The lower thread pitch has a (slightly) lower absolute holding strength (due to less overall surface engagement of the threads), but the clamping load of 70 lb/ft should be the same to the wheel whether it's transmited through a 1.5m patch bolt or a 1.25mm pitch bolt. I suppose there might be some very small difference due to losses going into the different ramp angle of the thread, but I'm fairly certain that the difference would be lost in the tolerances of even a very good torque wrench.
