do i NEED sparco lugs for sparco wheels?
i finally got tires on my NSII's after about 8 months of sitting in my basement and now when i go to put them on i can only get about three threads of each lug nut on. im thinking theres no way its safe to drive like that so whats the deal

Re: do i NEED sparco lugs for sparco wheels? (tylerspec)
what you are asking is pretty vague. If you had some pics I am sure that I could help. Are those wheels the correct offset for you car? If anything you might have to run extended studs but that doesnt seem rite. Good luck and post some pics.

i have stock studs
the wheels are +45 offset
its like the part of the wheel that sits against the hub is super thick and i can only get about 3 full rotations of each lug nut on there
im using just some average aftermarket lugs (angle seat)
i really dont want to run extended wheel studs
my lugs look like this:

im thinking i need lugs like this:

crappy pics but im thinking if the seat of the lug was in the middle and the end was a small enough diameter then it would allow them to go in further and use plenty of the thread

yes you do, the Racing Sparco wheel came with the special lugs nuts. otherwise you won't get enough thread onto the lug nut
love those sparcos
