Just got a new set of 15" slipstreams (black) and was wondering if I could use the stock lug nuts that came on my EM1? Each wheel has three standards lugs and one OEM key style lug.

Thanx!


BTW this is my first post so I just wanna say hello to everyone!

Heres my 99' SI, am gonna be dropping it shortly after the wheels go on!

 

no, you cant use your stock lugnuts, at least not safely.
the slipstreams have a conical lug seat and the em1 lugs are an acorn seat, very similar to the ball/radius seat in the picture.

lugs are cheap. mixing between is highly discouraged.

Ok good to know!

Will these be ok?

i had those same ones and they work fine.
i dont think i paid that much though

 

OK cool, thanx!

 

You can also find lug nuts with the tapered (conical) seating area you need at your local auto parts store. Autozone charges around a buck apiece for chrome-finished ones.

 

^^^^ Will check into that!

BTW What should I torque them to......80 ft lbs??
