SEEEEEEE...thats the problem with them. Running a drag slick on a street style rim. Call the company and ask what kind of lug nutz to run with them. Im sure thats what your problem is. They dont like the nutz.......Mike

oh yeah, make sure you have the acorn style lugs, not the oem style ones.

If they didn't clear my cousin's Del sol(DOHC VTEC)calipers, then they will not clear the GSR...

Stock lugnuts should be fine

i personally used Lensos for 2 yrs at many events and had no problems with them.

Get those $.75 short open end lug nuts at like Pep Boys and that should be fine.
Those are what I used.
THey dont need the longer studs and definately make sure they are the right style lugs.

there are pretty much two kinds of lug nut seats - cone and sphere. If you have cone lugs and are using them on a wheel machined to take spherical, or vice versa, then they will loosen by themselves.

Thats funny. I personally use Bogarts but I have 3 friends all running lensos. They all use their stock lug nuts with no problems... and they are all running 11's on those rims.
