New wheels... Lugs dont fit?

[satinleafct]

Hi guys,

I just got some american racing deep dish rims. 18x9 and 18x10. Well the stock lug nuts "fit" but the opening for the lug isnt big enough to fit a wrench in to tighten them down.

Anyone else have this problem?

It almost seems like I need lugs that are another inch or so longer than stock. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

I got some "tuner" wheels for my snow tires. They require a thinner lug nut...the OEM lugs/socket won't fit.

Spline drive nuts are what I'm using....from Gorilla, I believe. Mine are gloss black and my wheels are matte black.

You prolly need a set of lugs like that.

Yep....you need tuner lugs as mentioned. I would not get the style that have an allen head type setup. I have seen to many of them strip out (if they still make them). The type with the slots down the outside and a special thin wall socket is what you want. Any tire shop should have them if you cannot locate some.

+1 you need what are called "tuner" lug nuts, they are really known as spline lug nuts
