so i have a 94 DB8 with a at least 4 stripped out wheel studs on the front wheels... so i have to replace them..

i have a couple questions..

do i have to pull the hub to replace wheel studs,
i want to get 12x1.5 ARP extended wheel studs and run Blox forged lug nuts,

is anyone running this setup on a fatfive wheel..? do the lug nuts fit..

also looking to get a set of 16 rota slips in white next semester will the lugs fit those also

thanks in advance. pics of the lugs on a set of fat fives would be hella appriciated.

 

You should only use OEM lugnuts on OEM wheels, Oem and tuner lugs have a different seat type, so by using an aftermarket set on your Phatfives won't let them seat correctly. But on an aftermarket rim such as the Slipstreams they would be seated correctly.

For the rear you can just pull off the whole bearing assembly and hub, up front is a bit trickier where you have to get everything pressed out.

 

so which seat type is the OEM wheels, and what lug nut type is oem, thanks for the diagram but what is relevant to oem and which is relevant to the slips/ blox lug nuts.

 

This should answer your question:

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. Aftermarket 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 lugnut and the wheel will be insufficient, putting undue stress on them and potentially causing failure.

 

nice thanks this is what i was asking thanks for the proper explanation, looks like i will just pull my forks and hub with studs off my old LS and just swap them, instead of replacing the studs.

 

I would replace the studs with ARP ones. They don't strip nearly as easy as oem.

 

seeing as how they are chromoly i would hope not.. lol.. but those are 12x1.5 thread pitch, hense why i was gonna run the blox open ended lugs..


unless someone knows of some oem style lugs that will fit the ARP stud threads.

 

You can use ARP extended studs with OEM Honda open ended lug nuts.

The lug nut on the left is OEM open ended. The one on the right is some aluminum aftermarket type, obviously.

Note that both have the same amount of threads:






The lug nuts came on stock Accords (late 80's & early 90's) that had a wheel cover, thus requiring short open ended lug nuts. If you go to a junk yard and find an Accord with the wheel style below, you can grab those lug nuts and use them on your ARP's!

 

what kind of seat do rota track rs use?
