Any aftermarket lug nuts that are easy to put on?

cossie1600 · 04-28-2014, 01:46 AM

One thing I really hate about my aftermarket wheels is that it requires me to use aftermarket lug nuts. Due to the lack of space given and the length of the lug nut, it usually takes forever to thread the lug nuts onto the studs. Do you guys have anything that are longer so I can get the wheels on and off quicker.

Thanks

i use my 18v 3/8 driver (not impact gun) with watever deep socket to thread in the lugs. then use my ratchet and torque wrench to finish.

it goes on VERY quick. tape your sockets not to scratch around the lug bores.

or i suppose if you dont have a power driver, you can use these thumb ratches.

but it's best you keep a few 17, 19, 21mm deep sockets so you can use them without
swapping sockets on your tools.
