Default question about my rims

I just got extended skank2 studs and lug nuts for my EF and what i was wondering is if i can use them for my rims that i have on my car. there stock rims from a different Honda, im not sure what kinda though or are they only for aftermarket rims???

I just want to install them already since my cousin can do it for free, but if i cant then i cant.

I would post pics of the rims but im not sure how to post pics on this.

You dont know what honda? All you did was extend your studs? You should be fine unless you have closed lugnuts that wont seat all the way down. Then you'll need to buy an open ended set

You have to make sure that the shape of the seating area on the lug nuts is the same as the shape of the seating area on the wheels, as shown below. Most aftermarket wheels have a conical (cone, tapered) seating area and need aftermarket lug nuts with a conical seating area. Most Honda/Acura wheels have a ball-shaped (spherical, radius) seating area and you need lug nuts with a ball-shaped seating area, such as stock lug nuts. If you need open-ended lug nuts with a ball-shaped seating area, ask your Honda dealer for part number 90381-SV1-901.
