need lug nut help
Hey guys, I bought some ASA JS6 (swirly rims) wheels with winter tires from a guy off the forums. I went to put them on today and the stock lug nuts don't fit because they are too wide for the wheel. Does anyone know some lug nuts that I can use? Much appreciated. They don't have to be top of the line stuff because they are just for the winter. Thanks

any tuner lugs should fit, Mcguard, gorilla. DOesn't matter. The oem lugs have very limited fitting. Any pepboys would have it.

Definitely don't use the stock lugs with anything but the stock wheels.
I'm pretty obsessive about installing/removing lug nuts by hand with a torque wrench. One look at the now famous video of the RX-7 losing all 4 wheels would do that to anyone.

I went out and bought these crager style lug nuts, they are extended nuts, but when I went to tighten them down, they, still weren't long enough cause they started stripping the wheel. The ASA wheels must have unusually small holes..

Check with a tire company like tirerack, or discount tire. I had some wheels that did not have lug nuts and they not only got me the right lug nuts, but also the wheel spacers to place over the hubs. Less than $50.
