I ordered the TL studs for my '91 teg this week and I also wanted to get new lug nuts. I need to use the thinner "tuner lugs" with my wheels so I ordered a set of gorillas like these:
It never occurred to me though that these lug nuts might bottom out on the TL studs since they're longer. Do I need to have open ended lug nuts with these studs? Or will the gorillas work? TIA.

 

they will work fine. actually perfect.

 

Hello Tyson,

How can you answer this without knowing the thickness or depth of lug holes in the wheel hub pad on his wheels?

 

the thickness from the inner face to the lugnut seat is usually the same, at least for all 4 different wheels ive put on my crx. my TL studs and gorilla/mcgard lugnuts are the same dimensions as pictured, and thread in perfectly, leaving just about the exact space you see in those thin little end caps.

 

Hello Tyson,

Were all 4 wheels the same off set?

 

nope, stock 45 to 36.

 

FWIW, I use the TL studs with my Kosei K1's and I was able to use a "long" closed-ended lug I bought at Advance Auto. I have since replaced them with open-ended lugs, but I would imagine the McGuards will work fine.

 

Forgive me for my ignorace but what's the advantage to using TL studs?

 

about 1 cm extra length, oem fit and quality and relatively cheap. you missed the big wheel stud thread?

 

Guess I'm not as studly as thou... mwahaha

I didn't really care about tech til I got my hatch this past year, so yeah I probably overlooked the thread.

 

TL? Try 86-89 Tegs rear lugs!!!!!!

You think this info is new???????

I saw you mention that in THE "wheel stud thread". They had the same part number as the rear TL's and cost the same at acuraautomotiveparts.org. But you get more of a cool factor using parts off a TL than a gen1 teg.

Anyways, now that we've established I'm a ricer, thanks for the info Tyson. I was a little worried there for a minute that they wouldn't fit.
