So nobody has used ARP extended studs with spacers on their Stock wheels eh?

I have machined the top's off my OEM shank-style lug-nuts .... and not bothered about lock-nut capability ....

If you want to use lock-nuts on the OEM wheels, then you should be able to use these:

Locking Nuts & Bolts

and check out "Open-End Mag Star Wheel Lock Set"

Your issue may well be with the washer size, but your local engineering bolt and nut/fasterner supplier can provide washers of the correct size (you will require "hardened" washers)

Thanks! I really appreciate it. Have you ever tracked your car with your hacked open stock lug nuts? I wonder if this weakens anything. I'm thinking of buying 4 more OEM lug nut for track and use the open end mag star locking nut for DD.

Do you happen to know off the top the proper Washer size I need to replace it with? Do they sell them off the shelf? I'm on the Mcmaster carr website right now.

You happen to know the difference between a "CLAMP SHELL" vs "BULK PACKING"? I'm confused which P/N I should order.

DEpoint, I sent you a PM again for lugs. Thanks!

Bulk is in a bag, clamp shell is that annoying packaging you get at costco

Sorry dude, I;m in Australia and have been asleep ... all you need is a vernier caliper to measure ID, OD and thickness of the washer ... I can check, but not for another 12 hours or so as I'm at work.
