Need a little help with lug nuts

TonyBPD · 03-14-2011, 02:12 PM

I just bought some new lug nuts( Kics Leggdura ) to replace some tuner lug nuts that I ran last year. I'm pretty sure they are the same angle and will be fine but I wanted some more opinions. Here is a pic -

put them side by side and place a piece of paper in between. you will get a much clearer picture if the angles are different.

but those look to be the right ones.

The new lugs seem to fit fine on the wheels (obviously not on the car yet but just dropped the lug in place) as they fill in a bit more than the old ones.

sounds good. the more contact area, the less chance of it backing out. i use 80lbs and retorque at least twice, usually 3-4 times.

those black Titek lugs i recently got, i used 80lbs and retorqued 3 times on my SA55M's.

im real happy how they turned out.

Thanks kenchan. Hope to throw the wheels on tomorrow. Tired of running around on snow tires.

Looks just like my MXP lugs. But mine are open ended.

The package on the Kics lugs is exactly like that also.
