which lug nuts for Eagle alloys 168?

[88mk7]

I grabbed a set off ebay for a kick ass deal, what kinda lug nuts and what size please?

 

[Sifrino3]

I got those wheels. I can't remember. I picked up mine when I got my tires put on. All key locked. . .

 

[JoshMcMadMac]

Any acorn style nut should work. I think stock studs are 1/2-20. I picked up some chrome lugnuts at CarQuest, about $1 each.

 

[Sifrino3]

$1 each is cheap. I paid alot for my locking ones. Jzz, it was to much to tell you guys!

 

[88mk7]

hell i'll have at least one locking one on each wheel

 

[JoshMcMadMac]

You can get a set of four locking nuts, one for each wheel, for <$10 at any local parts store.

The kind I have is that the socket that I take them off with is the key. Very low profile. . .

Yea, that's the type I'm talking about. I had those on the Camaro before the new rims were added. Just be careful not to strip it or mess it up!

 

[Sifrino3]

No kinding, that would be something. . .

 

[88mk7]

hey sif, do your front tires rub or anything?

 

[Sifrino3]

Nope, for even close. Have it lowered too. No spacers no nothing! Direct bolt up!

 

[88mk7]

awesome, can't wait to get tires mounted on mine, im goin with Kuhmos all way around 245/45 on front and 275/40 on rear.

 

[Sifrino3]

I would up size the front to a 255. I got good streering now. But I believe with a little more out there it would be perfect.

245/45R17's are smaller than stock diameter. 245/50R17 is almost spot on, so you are better off with those. I picked up BFG's in that size, and they work great.

 

[Sifrino3]

Yes a 45 17 is smaller. But it looks good. That is another reason why I am steping up to 18s!

 

[88mk7]

I hate to see how much tires will run me... its chilling. BTW, does NTB price match with TireRack?

 

[Sifrino3]

Me too!

If you think ~$100 a tire is bad, don't ever get anything bigger than 17"! I was happy to get my tires for $90 a piece.
