Rennan C10's

Ok guys ,

haven't found anything at a local wheel place or on line. The only option I was giving was extened wheel studs. But wont this effect me when I go back to the stock wheels for the winter?

I have Rennan C10 Blue lable wheels Front 20X8.5 +24 and Rear 20X10.5+45. problem is every few hundred miles my lugs are loose( only like 4 threads holding them on!) Is there a solution as far as lugs I can use? Any thoughts much appreciated. Thank you

BTW lugs I'm using are Muteki 32905N SR Series Neon Chrome 12mm x 1.25mm SR48 Open End Lug Nut Set, (Set of 20)

Loctite Blue, it'll keep them snug but won't require heat to remove like the Red Loctite, you shouldn't need much. Wondering why they keep coming loose though, wonder if it has to do w/ being open ended? BTW, how many turns on the lug nuts before they're seated to the wheel, possible that the aggressive rear offset isn't leaving as much thread as needed to get a good torque down??

That is strange, I've only used the OEM lugs on my first G35 and the OEM plus Gorilla lug nuts on my current G37 and do plenty of wheel work and never had to re torque the nuts, they've always held true at 85 ft.lbs. Are yours the lighter weight lug nuts? Maybe it's the material they're made of?
FWIW the gorilla lug nuts are the same heavy weight as the OEMs.

Yea they are lighter, Than the stock lugs, I went and ordered a set of 10mm longer than stock wheels studs from Z1 ( 370 Forum) referral. We'll see how it goes.
