Lug Nuts for Stock wheels?
I want to put on this set of stock wheels I got that have some blizzaks on them for winter tires, but I don't have the stock lug nuts.
So, I need a full set of lug nuts for a set of stock wheels. The dealer quoted me some ridiculous figure for a full set... I went to the local pepboys and they guy behind the counter searched the computer and then told me they don't have it in the system... I have no clue when it comes to lug nut shopping, what exactly do I ask for? Dimensions, type, shape? If remember right, I read something about some lugs fit but eventually loosen, but I cant find the thread at this point in time. I will drive the car less than 100 miles all winter, so them ones that loosen eventually may be an option to me as long as they are cheap. I just need wheels on it to move it out the driveway so they can plow. Can someone please tell me what the cheapest option is? |

Are there any other cars that use the same lug nuts as the SVX? When I search for SVX lug nuts they tell me they have no parts.. Is it like wheel shopping where I need to look for a whatever model year sti to actually get results? For example, I'm looking at rockauto and they sell the SVX studs but not the nuts.. I don't understand that.. Last edited by Lookin4SVX; 09-22-2012 at 07:19 PM. |

Re: Lug Nuts for Stock wheels?
The SVX lug nuts are unique. Toyota uses the same style on some wheels, but they have a different thread pitch. Many members are likely to have a set lying around, aftermarket wheels generally require different nuts.

Just got home, I see I have a PM.
Looks like I might have a set of stock lug nuts close by. Thanks |
