lug nuts (studs)
 

do i need special lug nuts (studs) to mount limited edition wheels on my sa?
the bolt pattern seams to be ok but the stock studs seem short. very few threads are holding wheel on. can anybody help?:confused:

I got myself some studs from GORILLA... they screw into where our lugs would go and then a lug nut screws on to them.

I had the same problem with my rims... only like three threads were catching using the oem lugs, so I opted to go with the above after alot of trial and error purchases of this lug and that lug. I been using them now prob' over five years and the only problem I've had so far was this young kid working at the place where I got my new tires mounted overtightened a lug causing the stud to strip out a hole on my rotor... the stud held up fine though and I resused it again in the new rotor. They cost about $75 total for the studs, lugs, & washers.

Ohhhh and they added a good five full thread turns.

12mm x 1.50 (I think) Very common wheel stud size, get them anywhere. I run 2.25 inch Gorilla studs with long open ended aluminum racing lug nuts.

thanks for the info. how were the limited wheels held on from stock?

I think the LE studs were 1/4 inch longer.
