What lug nuts should I go with on ARP wheel studs?

[Vila]

What lug nuts can I go with? I'm running ARP wheel studs. Is there a recommended kind? Or can I just use my stock open end lug nuts?

Blox extended studs are pretty good actually. I have them on my coupe, and i think i paid $47 shipped from JHPUSA.com

Good seeing you/meeting you as well. ARP is a good well known quality brand so I would say spend the money on a quality lug nut to go on them. I have had zero issues with my Rays lug nuts which I got from ebay. Mine are standard size but they do make extended as well.

If you are going to be running ITR wheels (or any stock wheel for that matter) then you need to get Acorn style (or factory) lugs. Almost all of the aftermarket options (such as Rays, Blox, etc.) are Taper style. These types of lugnuts are designed for aftermarket wheels and would not work with your stock wheels. They wouldn't fit the grove that is on the stock wheel and could back themselves out on their own due to poor contact with the seating surface.



Just go down to your nearest Honda Dealership and ask for open-ended lug nuts and they should be able to get them for you no problem.


EDIT: Acorn is not the proper term for OEM lugs. The proper name is ball seat, while acorn is describing the conical, aftermarket lugs.

If you've got ITR wheels you need the OE style BALL SEAT lugnuts. The Acorn style are NOT the correct ones. I think that's where a lot of people have issues with those wheels coming off b/c they use the incorrect lugnut w/ stock studs, in addition to those 5mm spacers to clear the brake calipers.

So OEM lugs would work then?

Yes, OEM lugs are what you need

Pardon my mis-naming of the lugs
