    Bought Some Wheels, Probably Stupid Question

    okay so im new to wheels, i don't really know much so i had a question a while ago that was how big could we get in terms of wheels, so i bought some 17" enkei's and i drove like 150 miles round trip getting em, so while i was there we put the wheel itself on the car and it fit,

    but i just got home and put it on and when i was going to put the lug nuts on they didn't fit, so im wondering, do i have to get new lug nut studs or just new lug nuts

    probably a dumb question XD but like i said im absolutely new to wheels

    alright, i'll post some pics tomorrow morning cuz it just got really dark outside

    but so far thanks for the help! ^__^

    if i can get em on i'll be really happy cuz i got em for 300 with extra tires

    by the way, in the case that i do need the tuner lug nuts, i have the stock lug nut studs, so do you guys have any idea what diameter id need?
    any links would really help, thanks XD

    i was REALLY surprised when they didn't have any on their website, i wanna go down to the store and ask but whenever i ask them a simple question they never know what im talking about XD also i wanna go there just to make sure they fit good, but i also wanna make whatever i buy is durable and doesn't rust

    search for the enkei site they will have hundreds of them, or maybe even ebay

    The tuner lugnuts that Autozone, Pepboys, and Oreillys have are junk. You want either the ones you already linked from Summit Racing, or McGard.
