I just recently got rims for my 5 lug conversion...JDM ITR rims, what kind of lug nuts can i use? i know i need open ended, but i hear running aftermarket lugs on OEM rims are unsafe.

Heres a pic of the parts:

 

I used the Gunmetal Spoon lugnuts for OEM wheels cause they are made for OEM wheels.

Check it out at IPSracing or PM Mike M. I think.

 

afaik, running aftermarket lugs on oem wheels is alright as long as you're not using lugs with a conical seat.

 

Look up the Skunk lugs. They are forged and open ended for high strength. There made out of aluminum/magnesium allow and are hard-anodized with knurled ends for better grip. I had them with my mugens and loved them. They never got lose on me, and when you had them all in the box it felt emtpy, very light. I think they sell in most pitches 12x1.5 and 12x1.25..

 

any other suggestions?

just make sure you get lugs that have the right seat like he said and you should be fine!

 

I'd either get the Mugen or Spoon lugnuts!

 

any old acorn-seat open-ended lug will work fine.
