Default I just bought sf-challenges can i use stock lugs?

they are 19s. 9.5 23offset and 10.5 28offset i think. Anyways can I use stock lugs and do I need hubcentric rings? or can i just put them on without any problem?

you could just put them on see how flush they are, but you might need some spacers to make them look even more flush. as far as lugs....i don't see why not.


nice wheels btw


edit: ahhh sorry glad somebody chimed in about the lugs.

OEM lug nuts and Aftermarket wheels do not mix. Look at the seat of the nut, and where it fits into the wheel. The contact surfaces do not match.

Why not spend a little more money and get a nice set of lugs?

Pics of wheels?

Yes, you need different lug nuts.
And yes, you need hubcentric rings.

The lug nuts and the lug seating in the sf-challenges appear to be the same style as OEM. I think they are both conical seat? Would it be okay to drive w/o hubcentric rings until i can order some? I am driving around now and it doesnt seem to cause any problems but I dont want anything unexpected to happen.

Look good.. I would not use the stock lugs either as everyone has mentioned. Just pick up some tuner lugs at pep boys, autozone or summit racing man.. again wheels looking good man.. Gold Volks FTW

you need hubcentric rings!!!!! the weight of your car is designed to rest on the hub, not the lug bolts.....the lugs are designed to hold your wheel on the car horizontally..... not carry weight !
