Volk lugnuts on Sports Rays

So I won't be able to use those at all because they damage the stock wheels? So which lug nuts should I run If I'm currently running 15MM spacers in

Great... so it looks like I have to send those back then.

Yes, Use the stock flat washer style lugs.
Paint the lugs and your done.
The End.

That is correct. The tapered design provide less contact area and will actually pop off under pressure. For the Rays you MUST have the flat-style washer lugs .. if anyone finds a vendor who provides them .. please let the 370z community know!

So there isn't 1 VENDOR that actually sells those? I'm not sure why concept z performance would advertise those lug nuts to be compatible with the factory wheels. That really sucks, so basically anyone can go and steal this rims.

Solution: go and buy aftermarket wheels???

The stock lugs on the 19 Rays wheels will work with your H&R spacers. The H&R 15mm & 20 mm wheel spacers came with replacement studs and the stock lugs work fine on my 20 mm fronts. I have 25 mm on the rears but they are bolt ons and the stock lugs also work fine.
