Bad idea. You shouldn't be using stock lug nuts with aftermarket wheels.

The seating area of the lug nut is the part that maintains contact with the seating area of the wheel. You need to get lug nuts which have the same shape seating area as the wheel, so that they can have contact across that entire area. Aftermarket wheels have a conical(cone)/tapered seating area, and need aftermarket lug nuts with the same shape seating area. Honda/Acura wheels have a spherical/radius/ball-shaped seating area, and need lug nuts (usually, but not always, from Honda) with the same shape seating area.

 

muteki makes low profile lugs shorter) or was that gorilla? but yeah..they got closed ends and open ended

 

, that was very informative. I can probably search this myself, But would you know what kind of of lug shape of the seatings the bbs rs would take.

I thought I remember it being spherical such as honda lugs.. Then again, could have been a mistake and is a conical type of seating.

I will check out the sponsored threads here on h-t and see whats new.


thanks again nsxtasy, , by the way I may still be interested in your tires. Been waiting a 2 months for the goodyear gs-d3 tires to come back in stock for the 15 size.

 

I'm pretty sure the BBS wheels have a conical seating area. Most aftermarket wheels do. But I could be mistaken, those could be an exception, I don't know for sure.
