As far as i know....you shouldnt use any other lug nut on an oem factory wheel aside from the oem factory lug nuts.

hmm.. i would ask the dealer - I dont see why you couldnt do it as long as the length and width match the oems. I was actually about to put my rays lugs (black) up for sale as formula racing lugs should be in this week.

Its not the length or diamter of the lug, its the degree of the taper that makes them incompatible. Aftermarket tuner lugs typically have a 60 degree taper which is different than OEM type lugs.

i highly don't recommend running aftermarket lugs on stock wheels.

i recall someone on this forum did just that and his wheels literally fell off his car with the lugs still intact to the studs. don't risk it!

Yea what weiboy said, I wouldn't risk it either. Just use the OEM lugs to be safe

oem lugs = oem wheels
aftermarket lugs = aftermarket wheels

no other way to do it without risking anything.
