I am not spreading wrong information. I have the wheels, I have the lugs, they are on the car, the car is fine.

^^ until you hit a serious pothole at speed and shatter the rim because you've only got a tiny bit of contact area between the nut and the wheel seat...

just saying take it easy until you get the proper nuts

It has nothing to do with your lug studs, the only thing that effects lug studs would be thread pitch and torque when applying your lug nuts. No ill effect by using the wrong lug nuts will pose an issue on your lug studs, rather the wheel and lug nut contact area being far less than recommended.

A crappy Paint cross-section for your reference...



Yes the lugs fit, NO you shouldnt do it...ever. Please stop spreading false and potentially dangerous information.

End Thread.
