Quick lugnut question
I love it when people don't bother looking in the FAQ, because then I can make fun of them for overlooking it. 
Stickied at the top of this forum, where only the most clueless couldn't find it

What lug nuts do I need?
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. <FONT SIZE="4">Stock Honda/Acura wheels</FONT> 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 <FONT SIZE="4">(including most tuner lug nuts)</FONT> 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.


The threading spec for our lugs is 12x1.5
