lug nuts

hello,
i have a set of work eurolines sitting in my garage. just wondering if it would be okay to use the original lug nuts that came on my y33 ae or if i would have to purchase new ones.

thanks!

If they physically fit it'll be fine.

I remember my stock lugs were too wide to fit in the pockets though.

if they have a center cap, you will need to buy some hollow tip lug nuts or else the cover won't sit flat...

lug nut size is 12x1.25 in case you need to buy some...

The only thing to be careful about is the seat. On some cars (like Honda) the stock lugs are ball shaped and will damage and aftermarket wheel if you use them.

ok, thanks guys :)

one more question: any recommended lug nuts? i would've bought the garson crystal ones, but the eurolines have a center cap which cover them.

I'm using open ended Muteki's for my wheels that have centercaps but I hear Mcgard makes good lugs. Just make sure they're open ended.

i'm also using Muteki open ended lugs. they're small enough to fit into any wheel and they're priced very reasonably.

What type of lugs would look good on a open black face wheel with polished lip? I was thinking either regular chrome or black closed lugs. I can't decide...or possibly anodized blue ones? too racey?
