Default NEED HELP: Mounting Volk Racing Group C onto 93-95 civic coupe

Just picked up an awesome set of rims, however. How do you go about mounting these things on? The adapter plate which include the hubcentric ring holds the rim to the hub in the right spot. However, now the wheel studs are too short. (I know, extended wheel studs are on order).

The problem is how do you go about getting the right lug nuts to go on the rim and fit it to where the caps can screw on!



TIA,
Jon

Get a set of open ended tuner lugs and you'll be just fine.

Open ended set of nuts?

Thanks!

Anyone else, any lug nuts that will actually be smaller then the tuner lug nuts (rays, muteki, gorilla)?

The hole is physically smaller. Maybe Ill take it to a shop to get it bigger and tapered

The supplied VR lugs w/ keys keep the wheel mounted onto the adapter.

Normal open ended lug nuts keep the adapter mounted to the hub?
