Default Lugnut choice for low offset wheels.

Hey guys,

I just purchased a set of blitz type 01 in +35mm offset and realized that it will require a special type of a lugnut - a kind that i've never used before, due to it having such a low offset. It seems like the lugnut would need to be longer than normal for it to stick out enough from the hole for the wrench to grip. What lugnuts do you guys recommend for such an application? Thanks in advance.


Tim

offset has nothing to do with stud and lugs, it only a measure of the distance between the hub and wheel(meaning how much the wheel sticks out or sunk it)

i think your problem is that you have little room for the tire iron to go in, you can get a extended lug nut or a tuner lug nut


extened lug nut are longer so the tire iron will not hit the rims surface, tuner lug has contact area inside the lug instead of outside.

again, offset has nothing to do with the lug, it's the face of the wheel design.

35 is pretty bad et for s2k
