Quick Question about Lug Nuts on FD...HELP!

Hey Guys,
Take off my stock FD tires/rims yesterday to put on my new Work Meister S2R Rims only to find out....I need new lug nuts as the stock lug nuts do not fit the Work Meister S2R rims

Correct me if I am wrong but are the lug nuts that I need the M12 x P1.5 size? 35mm long?


HELP!!!!
Thanks,
EC

Yes, thats the right size but not sure if the length matters. Just get some Rays nuts or something.

Found a guy today selling Volk Rays M12 x P1.5 lug nuts and still a no-go, luckily I had one of my rims in my trunk to test out with before buying as still too fat.

I guess I have to go with 12 x 1.25?

Think you need new rims then. What exactly is too fat, the nut or the socket to wrench it? I had the same problem with the TE37's, you need a thinner socket.

The lug nut is too big, need a thinner lug nut.

get spline type nuts,Like Gorilla Nuts or Rays has something that will suffice.
There should be no reason to Drill your wheels to get lug nuts to fit.
It's like Wiping before you Poop..it doesn't make sense!

I finally found the lug nuts to fit the Work Meister S2R rims.
Had to buy Muteki M12 x P1.50 lug nuts.
Have the rims on now.
