Wheel lug nuts question

[bakes]

OEM is 28mm in length. If your ET is lower than 30, increase the length of bolts by the same amount. For example if aftermarket wheels have ET25, order bolts with 33mm in length. +1 on the ball/conical comments.

I don't think you are correct. The ET will indicate the position of the centre of the wheel rim to the mounting surface. The buyer would only need to purchase longer lugs if they use a spacer to keep the offset of the aftermarket wheel the same as the factory wheel.


We'll need to know the size of the rim (18" given the tires on them), width of the rim and offset of the rim. If the offset will require the use of a spacer then longer lugs are needed. If no spacer is require then factory length lugs should do. In the case of the OP he just wants black lugs to he'll have to buy them from ECS or somewhere similiar. As with what many have also posted, most aftermarket rims use conical bolt seats where the head of the lug meets the wheel so that will have to be factored into the lugs that are purchased.

I hope this helps.

Ooops! Yeah I was thinking of my own car since I use spacers. You might say I "spaced" out on that little detail.

So I should basically get the same ones I have on now on OEM wheels from ec tuning but only blank in color and conical seats..?

What is the spec of the rim? on the inside you should see ET stamped somewhere aswell as the dimension 18*?? Really need to know the width of the rim and offset to help you best with lug suggestions. We need to figure out if you need spacers. What car where these rims on previously?
