No such thing as extended lugs


If you mean studs there should be no reason if you have the right lugs

That's not an extended lug


It's called a ET lug.....I have been on wheels and tires for years

I'm thinking OP means studs. Then I assume it's cause his lug nuts don't have enough threads cause they aren't the right ones


Or. He means open ended tuner type lugs that need a long skinny tool to fit in the whole in the wheels since stock 13/16 or 21 doesn't fit very good


All just guesses here

my apologies, yes I did mean extended studs, I believe I am running correct lugs, (Muteki SR35). it was just more out of curiosity, since I do have quite a bit of threads showing when mounting the wheel.

Yes i would run extended studs with the enkeis. They have a thick hub. Esp if your doing any autox track days.

Welp put these on... Thanks everyone for all the good information, so far the only regret is not getting them sooner

I would say the front is fitting flush for those who are interested.

Lookin' sharp, Mike!

Talk about "bad influence"... When I get home in August, maybe I'll sell off everything (but my S-Tunes) and start over. Laff....

Not.

Rather "start over" with new vehicle....

Test drive went well... Only one minor rub when I hit a large bump and it was in the back

Thanks for all the good feedback... Now just gotta keep telling myself not to lower the front any more.

dboyzalter... Your wheels look great!

In fact so good, that nobody mentions the very nice looking hood on your car.

Thanks... Yeah or the random wrap covering up other messed up parts of the car... Every time I wash the car I wash the hood with a 3m scotch brite pad... It was so discolored I couldn't take it anymore... Its scratched to **** now but an improvement
