Lug Nuts Ques!!
Hello, I just purchased 16in rota boost flat blk w/red lip. I'm planning to buy red lug nuts, but I want them to stick out a little to enhance the appearance. What kinda lug nuts should I look for? open ended or closed. Thanks

Open ended are for extended studs where the tech inspection requires them to see a certain amount of thread contact. Closed ended will normally fit only over standard sized lugs.

That being said, I think open ended look funny when they're not extended and extended would look ridiculous on standard length studs. I say closed.

the Rays extended lug nuts i had did not fit on the ARP extended studs on my old integra. they left ~5mm before contacting the lug nut seat on the wheel.
