Question: Do stock lugnuts fit 05+ Sti Wheels?
Question: Do stock lugnuts fit 05+ Sti Wheels?
I bought a nice set of the oem STi BBS wheels  . Will the stock lugnuts work? It looked like they would, the wheels have a chamfer that seems to match that on the lugnut, but they don't feel right when I started to torque them up...Need help before PepBoys closes tonight...

Thanks Tom!
The reason they felt funny torquing the lugnuts was the hub was binding in the wheel, from the powder coat. I put some never sieze on the hub, hope these wheels come off ok, because I'm not sure I like the Gunmetal grey, at least on Silver...

Powdercoating does not make the wheel any weaker. One of the local club guys races an STi with those wheels, powdercoated, as his dedicated track wheels and they haven't had a problem after 2 years.

Call me crazy but if you already stolen the STI rims, why not the great set of brembos that comes with (they were meant to fit in that rim after all)
