open-ended lug nuts to fit OEM base wheels?
 

anyone know where i can get some?

my studs are extended so i'm trying to find some open-ended washer style lug nuts that'll fit the OEM wheels.

The stock lugs can accommodate up to a 15mm extended stud. The only other option that I'm aware of if you are extended more than that is to chop of the cap part of a set of stock lugs.

^ thanks for the info... where's the best/cheapest place to get stock lugs? dealer?

Dorman makes an exact clone of the stock lugs, part #611294. The cheapest place I've found for them is rockauto.com.

It is fairly easy to cut the top of the cap with a hacksaw, dremel or sawsall. Just put the lug nut in a vice and shave the very top. Don't cut too far down or you'll be cutting into the lug itself, although it's no big deal if you do just more work for your cutting arm.

thats a good price, I think I paid about 5 each from a discount online dealership a couple years ago.

yeah, that is exactly what I would do. Sweet price on the lugs too!

thanks chris!
