Default What lug nut will fit in Volk GR-C's?

Hi, I just bought some Volk GR-C and now that I have them I realize the lug holes are really small in diameter. The lug nuts I have are too big in diameter to fit into the hole. Can anyone tell me what brand lug nuts will fit into this hole? I don't care how far they extend out of it, just as long as the diameter of them is small enough to fit. Thanks in advance.

Here is a pic of the lug holes...

Most "tuner style" or key-based lug nuts will work. I had to use Gorilla locking lug nuts, to mount my R/C Starks.

look at the ET lugs:

top row 2nd to last or even the last one. only thing is that they may not clear your center cap covers (plates)

i hope you understand if you try to use normal tuner lugs then your wheel wont set right and may cause an accident

Oh so any lug nuts I get have to have that part extending from the bottom? Why is that needed for these wheels? Thanks for all the info so far.

well, you asked for gr-c lugs and im telling you what works.

your lugs holes on your rims have a seating area and they need a lug nut that will fit(seat) in there correctly, snug and securely so your wheel wont fall off your car.

same as oem wheels like si's and gsr blades. they need the right lug (ball seat)as well..

therefore i bring you Special, not so normal lugs that will fit your application..


read some parts of the faq:

The "seating area" (or "seat") is the area of the lug nut, and the area of the wheel, that come in contact with each other. Stock Honda/Acura wheels have a ball/radius/spherical shaped seating area, and need lug nuts (such as stock lug nuts) which also have the same shaped seat. After market wheels use a tapered/conical/cone shaped seating area and need lug nuts (including most tuner lug nuts) which also have the same shaped seat. No, it is not safe to mix and match (stock wheel with tapered lugs or vice versa); the contact between the lug nut and the wheel will be insufficient, putting undue stress on them and potentially causing failure.







The threading spec for our lugs is 12x1.5
