Lug nut question

[bakerboard]

So when i got aftermarket rims, they put these lug nuts on there that dont fit so well. I think they just put them on as tight as they could. I dont wanna mess up my studs so i tried to torque the lug nuts to 90 ft-lbs and i the wheel has this lip on it where the lug nut goes and i think its restricting it some. Does anyone know of good lug nuts i can order that maybe have a long neck or something on them. The guy at discount autoparts told me the lug nuts need to be smaller than m12 - 1.50..

Yeah, What you need are some Gorilla Lug nuts here is the link:http://www.gorilla-auto.com/sm....lugs

Also, Go with a 12mm 1.25.

You might want to check out your local Orlando,FL yellow pages to see or find out some local Wheel/rims places that sell some Gorilla lug nuts.

Yeah, what kind of lug nut wrench do you have? and the next time when you take your wheels off put some grease on the wheel studs so, that way the lug nuts won't freeze up on you. Also, did you get any snow in orlando? LOL!!

Well i wont be taking my wheels off till i get new lug nuts and we got some sleet in orlando haha.

90ft/lbs is a bit much too. I want to say factory spec is 75.

Here it says 90 ft-lbs..

A general rule is 75lbs for aluminum wheels.
