Pretty much any tuner lug will work.... Muteki, Project KICS, Volk, Bloc, etc. As I mentioned to you, I have cheap splines and I have more costly sets of Muteki, Rays. They all work.

I like OEM best. Wish I could use them on a'market wheels.

Then there's these dumbass things....



Swell, juuuuuuuust swell.

Where's the puke bucket at?

What size tho?

I notice they come in different sizing. I’m assuming how slim or how long they are?

Also those spikes are too short. I need longer ones.

If anybody is looking for lugs, I do have an extra set of Muteki SR48 that I would unload pretty cheap. They are open ended so stud length isn't an issue as well. Its these 2 sets:

You will need 12x1.25 conical seat lug set. Is this what you mean?

If you have stock wheel studs you shouldn't need anything longer than a 35mm lug.

I hope this helps!

Yea I know the thread pitch. But I saw on other car forums people throwing around 19mm, 21mm and 60mm associated with the length of something like that. Wasn’t sure what that pertained to. When I see lug listings it’s only about the thread pitch of 12x1.25.

they will rub up front. the wheel barrel itself will rub off on the bottom end of caliper enough to grind it down a mm or 2. Nothing big for me but other ppl might be OCD about it. after a quick drive it will grind down enough to where you won't hear it anymore.

side question: what centercaps are ppl running and not the ENKEI ones that are optional with the RPF01s. they super ugly for 100$

Common lugs take a 19 or 21 mm socket to remove. You want the ones that take a smaller socket

^^^ 21mm will REQUIRE thin wall lug socket on these. But not to worry, those are OE lug sizes.

19mm is pretty much what you’ll find tuner lugs to be.

Another suggestion, much as I don’t like spline lugs, they do work well in tight lug tunnels (like the ones on my Datsun wheels and somewhat for RPFs.) Very narrow with narrow, thin lug key/socket.

I think it’s buddy club, Burbank the year have some 18mm lugs. Even a 19mm can scrape the wheel.

I remember seeing that Rays makes a 17mm lug nut a little while back. Not sure if they still exist but it was a thing.

Another alternative (if the budget allows) is getting Rays Formula lug nuts. This is what I currently use and they are amazing. Absolutely no chance of hitting the wheel.

19mm and 21mm sound like socket sizes to remove the lugs... like everyone is saying. The 60mm sounds like an extra long size of lug... almost like those spikes lol. I mentioned before 30-35mm of length should be good. Most McGards we sell are 30mm. Those Mutekis that were mentioned a few posts back are 48mm("SR48"). I hope this answers your question.

Ended up with a 48mm length 17mm lugs from Mutek.

Main selling point was the 300+ good reviews and the fact they were steel. Spend a little extra but screw it. Peace of mind.

I understand. Looking at maybe a foot of snow in Minnesota this weekend.

Swift (your wise decision) is the best choice for springs. I went with Tein S-Tech Springs, but I would like slightly more drop and a slightly more firm ride (both of which Swift will provide).

In for pics.
