Exclamation Lug Nuts Question

Well im planning on getting a little bit more offset for my fc (currently using 5mm, trying to go 10mm back and 8mm front)and i was wondering what lug nuts are used for bigger spacers? i need one that goes on a lot more threads than the stock one. Any suggestions?

Sounds like you want longer studs.

A quick search in the "suspension" forum...

Anything over 5mm is going to require longer studs or bolt-on spacers. What size/ offest are your wheels now? Also tire sizes. You may want to just go 10mm/ 15mm

Lug nuts that thread past your wheel? Yeah, I've got a set next to my flux capacitor and my time machine.

You need longer studs or a studded spacer if you're going to go any thicker. If you try to put a thicker spacer, you're not going to catch enough threads with your lug nut and eventually, they'll back off/fall off/etc.

Those are tire specs not wheel specs. Plan on $60 for studs (ARP for f-body camaro work well) and another $100 or so for spacers. Might but cheaper to just upgrade to a mustang wheel or something that fits how you want from the start.
