i just picked up a new set of wheels, D-Force 5 spoke wheels. the holes for the studs are thick enough that the studs don't clear the front of the wheel. Not a big deal in itself, but the hole is small. Small enough that regular lug nuts just fit in the hole and there is no room for a socket to go around it in the hole.

I know a lot of after market wheel are like this now. Those that have a similar issue, what lugs have you found that work well. Extended hex head lugs, or spline drive types? i have a broken stud, so i will be replacing them all anyway, may as well get some extended studs to ease mounting also.


Thanks, Kirt

i worked at americas tire for about a year and these were the lugs that we always used. NEVER had a problem with the lugs not fitting. the wheel lock key that it comes with has very thin walls so it should fit. they are usually stocked and decently priced.

Thanks, did find some gorilla lugs that are narrow, to fit in the smaller holes a lot of todays aftermarket wheels have. Have some studs inbound also.
