Default Can you use tuner lugs with OEM wheels?

I know they will fit, but is it dangerous to do so?

I have a set of Muteki tuner lugs, and I'm wanting to put my OEM CRX Si wheels back on...but I don't have the OEM "acorn-style" lugs. Can I use the Muteki's, and what are the possible consequences of doing so?

Thanks guys.

Alex

i know what you are talking about. I have done it many times before without any problems. Now, whether its advisable (safety wise) to do so or not, i dont know, but it does work and my wheels did not fall off

well having done this myself, youll dig a little ring around each of your lugnuts as it catches the inner edge of the stock wheels. especially since theyre aluminum. because of this, youre not going to get an accurate reading on the torque. but in my experience, the wheels stayed on, but honestly, i would just go to the junkyard and pick up a few pocket fulls of stock ones and do it right, and not have to worry about it.

I had to do this after snapping a few lugs. You can buy them indivually for just a couple dollars.
