Default God damn lugs.

So Chris loans me some damn wheels and I can't find any fucking lugs that'll work. I rolled over to Clayton who has the hottest fucking RX7, got some lugs that look the right style, but they don't fucking work. Nobody in Richmond has the right fucking lugs. I think I'm going to go crazy.

wtf? the ones you got from clayton should work fine... that's really odd they don't work. How don't they work exactly? Hmmm cause I used the same type of lugs when I had them on my car. ( I lost them, i only had 10 of em..)

Well it does seem to be the proper style, but the lugs don't go into the wheel far enough to reach the threads. The lugs are too wide maybe. The spacer I had to use to clear the caliper probably didn't help either.

hmmm... i guess i'd have to see it.. did you try it w/o the spacer? maybe put them on the rear if works?

Also, what size spacer?

Well I am putting them on the rear. My rear calipers are about the same size as the front and it doesn't fit without the spacer. The calipers touch the spoke. I still don't think the lugs would go far enough into the wheel. It's like they're too big in diameter. Not sure what size spacer, but its not very large. It worked with the SSRs.

well do the lugs fit in the wheel, when the wheel is off the car? This is getting to be a headache... lol maybe you can call makin industries? They MIGHT know... oh actually e-mail this place:

EDIT:

Yeah they do. 12x1.5 is the right pitch. Alright I'm headed to Mincz now.
