Purchased a set of XXR 531 16x8 +20mm for my offset. The wheel looks great but i'm extremely not pleased with how the wheel was made. They made the wholes for the lugnuts to go in very small. I don't want anyone responding to this thread with "tuner lugs", already bought BWR extended lugnuts and they didn't fit. If you've had these rims before please tell me what type of lugnuts you used. or i'm going to be forced to return these wheels.

Well then buddy you better return either the wheels or the lugs. Also it's not really XXR's fault for not accommodating to these types of lug nuts, you're ideally supposed to get the lugs AFTER you have the wheel so you know what fits.

I had Blox acorn type lug nuts that I intended to use with my XXR's. The base was too fat to fit in the hole, so I resold the lugnuts on eBay and bought a set of tuner (ball seat) lugs.

what type of ballseat lugs did u get?

Maybe take the wheels down to a discount tire or equivalent, they should have different lug sets on hand they can try til you find one that fits.

Just the tuner/spline lug nuts like they sell at auto stores. The BWR extended ones you have most likely have the wide acorn base.

XXR doesn't make a set of wheels utilizing a ball-type lug nut seat, just so you're aware. They utilize a tapered lug nut seat (often called "Acorn"). Running a ball-type lug nut actually is rather unsafe, since there's very little engagement in between the lug nut and the wheel. However, I've never seen a tuner-style lug nut with a ball-type seat. So, maybe you miss-spoke?

I think I was just flat out wrong. I have the 536, and switched to these types of lugs after having the same problem as OP with my acorn base Blox extended

^Which are identical to the typical "tuner" lugs you see in most auto stores I believe. I thought it was a ball seat, looking at the pictures again though and your chart I'm thinking it's still an acorn base, just not as wide...

Typically, a "Tuner" style lug nut uses an adapter/key to install. Like these: http://www.ebay.com/p/16-Alloy-Steel....c100005.m1851
