Hi,

I am swapping my "empi gt-5" wheels for the slotted stock wheels. My front has CB Performance disk conversion and rear is stock drums. All studded with 12-1.5mm

Ideally what I would like to have is studs all around and open ended lug nuts.

Now the question, can I just use 12-1.5 lug nuts or do I need to restud everything to 14mm? 12mm studs look a bit too skinny for the steel wheels...

here are the lugs that I am looking at:

Thank you,
Anton

I am running a similar lug nut on stock steel wheels, 12mm studs. Works great!

looks like it works. I just wish they were actually cad plated not silver, not sure if it's chrome or just weird plating.

I got mine on ebay. Cad plated, nice quality.

Tried to look back at my purchase history for a link but it's been too long ago.

http://www.ezaccessory.com/Lug_Wheel_Bolts_s/20.htm has a good selection of lug bolts/nuts etc.
I used their longer Mercedes style lug bolts on my square w/2.0 liter Fuchs wheels.
