I have a 2001 ITR and bought a pair of OEM Honda wheels from another car. They have a bit of a funky offset so I need a wheel spacer. It's going to be 6mm or 11mm. I want to install longer wheel studs but the only ones I see are 1" longer than stock. I wouldn't be able to fit a stock wheel nut over the stud protruding from the wheel. I need some options on how to proceed.

I don't want to run a cone nut in a wheel designed for a acorn style. I can't find any open back acorn style nuts.

Could I cut the studs down? does anyone make a stud which is only half an inch bigger than stock? (2.35")

Could I machine out the acorn style seat in the wheel?

Does anyone know where to get open acorn style nut? or a washer which allows the use of a cone style in these wheels?

Any help would be appreciated. I'm stuck.

 

You should be able to goto your local parts store and buy normal steel open end acorn style lugs in your size.

 

Thanks, I'll check.

By acorn I mean ball. I don't know why I was writing that in my post...

 

I noticed the FAQ has a Honda part number for open ended ball seat wheel nuts 90381-SV1-901. I'll check Honda on Monday. Hope they still have them.

 

get honda del sol lugnuts. or any parts store could order what your looking for.

 

They should. At worst, they can order them. That's the proper way to deal with your situation.

BTW, be careful about using the term "acorn". Sometimes it's used to refer to lug nuts with a ball-shaped seating area, which is what you mean. But sometimes it's used to refer to lug nuts which are as short as they are wide, which is not what you mean.
