Lug nut length for Enkei RPF1 wheels?
 

I am looking for lug nuts which will fit flush with the centre of the RPF1 wheels. I've seen many failed lug nut fitments where lug nuts stick out too far or the opposite. I haven't decided to go for open ended or closed ended or the colour atm but if I can find out the length (top to bottom) of the lug nut needed for flush fitment I can start looking for my options. Muteki has 35 and 48mm and some other brands have 40 and 50mm.

The wheels are 18x9.5 +38F and 18x10 +38R.

Looking at Rich's thread, I might even need to buy two sets in different lengths cause in the pics it looks like the front lug nuts and the rear ones sit differently:

This is how I want the lug nuts to sit (couldn't find any rpf1 pics):

and this is the look I do not want:

Anyone? What would be the front and rear lug nut length?

Here is another pic to explain what I mean. This is our forum member Oscypek's old set-up. See how the front lug nuts stick out a little and rears don't.

Arent those locks?

Cause why would he only put 3 out of 5?

And also i know im going off topic but do you know his wheel setup? Those offsets look kinda low. Didnt know they made low offset in black RPF1.

He had them custom painted. The offsets are +38 F and +15 R afaik, check his build thread.

Well the center disk area you are speaking of should be the same or virtually the same for the offsets and widths you've mentioned.

I believe you will want a 40mm lugnut but I can always take a measurement for you at work. We stock these wheels so it shouldn't be too hard. Then I can look into a lugnut option for you.

I think it's about 35mm, so you'll probably get slightly shorter or slightly longer.

KICS makes a 26mm and a 40mm for reference.

You see the Blue Muteki open ended spline drives up there. I believe that's one of our photos.

thanks, Rishie

Hmmm, there are both 35mm and 40mm open ended lug nuts that I like, available in the market. So please let me know which one is the closest to the centre disc area without sticking out, like in the first pic on top of this thread. Thanks Rishie.

ps. I don't like the looks of Kics but I like the shape of Muteki and D1Spec (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Dr3MGdUlba...s1600/nuts.jpg) etc......
