Re: lug nuts? (marecco)
The extended studs dont matter. It may not look pretty but it wont effect your stock wheel being put on. As for your lugnuts, any rounded or acorn end lugnut would work although the best and safest would be "ball/radius/spherical shaped seating area"

You (Doostur) are assuming that his steelies have a ball-shaped seating area. I don't know if that's always the case with steelies the way it is for almost all Honda/Acura brand wheels.
In any case, you need to get lug nuts whose seating area is the same shape as the seating area of the wheels, as described in the FAQ topic stickied at the top of this forum. Sometimes it's easier to discern the shape by feeling it with your fingertip rather than eyeballing it. If you need open-end lug nuts with a ball-shaped seating area, the FAQ topic tells where to get them.

True - but the idea (of the shapes of the seating area) is the same.
Maybe you like the other diagram in the FAQ better?
