SPARCO NSII's, what lugnuts for a Integra?????
Like it says. Got some NSII's and cant seem to find any nuts that will fit. I know they are out there, but where and what?
THANKS!!!!
THANKS!!!!
The lug nuts for an Integra are the same as for any other Honda/Acura car. Just plain old every day 19 mm lug nuts. Same thread pitch on all cars, too.
Just make sure you get lug nuts with a tapered seating area (same as any aftermarket wheels), NOT with a ball-shaped seating area like Honda/Acura OEM wheels.
You can get them at your local Autozone...

The Sparco's use a special lug that has a part that protrudes into the lug bore if I recall, and you can't just use any "standard" lugnuts on them. A friend ran into a similar problem when he picked up his Sparcos and couldn't find any lugs that fit
I was thinking that it was a shaft style, like the old Cragers. But maybe those pepboy special's will work...

Got these, and they "kinda" work. They only twist dowmn 405 turns. Not sure if I trust that. Maybe I need those and extended studs all the way around....

Hi. Can u post pics of the "mag" style lugnuts you were able to buy for the Sparcos? Thanks
BTW, I have the same experience as u guys with those PEPBOYS lugs and i'm worried. Hope to find the right ones for my Sparco.

gorilla make a lug nut you can use, I don't have the part number but any competent wheel shop should be able to help you out. onto the pics
problem with the usual "tuner" style lug is it does'nt catch more than 2-3 threads, and sparco nsII have large bolt holes, so it looks like this

The gorilla lugs have an extra long shank (sp) and fit into the nsII holes

And here is the difference between a regular lug vs the one with 1/2in shank gorilla make 2 versions of this lug one is 1/4in shank and the one I got is 1/2in shank

if you dont mind potentialy snapping the studs when a lot of force is applied to the wheel then they will fit,
but the sparco nuts are that shape for a reason so they dont put all of the strain of hard driving on a small section of the stud
they spread the load over a much larger proportion by having more material in contact with the rim
im going through the same trouble trying to find a set for my crx
but its made worse by the fact that im in the uk
so they are even rarer.
