Here is my situation. My best friend gave me some gunmetal Arospeed RS-GT 17x7 5 with tires not positive on the tire size, as I am at work and can't walk out to the shed and look. He had them on a '02 Subaru Impreza WRX wagon. We put one on the front to see if it would fit and move ok and we managed to breakoff 2 studs ans strip the other 3. But I got my old wheel back on first. Then I went to Autozone and got some 12mm "tuner" lugs and I couldn't get them to thread right. I thought if they where the right size they would work. These are like the ones my friend had but they are 1.50 instead of 1.25. Is the different kind of threads, fine or coarse? Will these lugs work if I order them?



Sorry to waste anyone's time if this has been answered somewhere else, can never find what I am looking for when I search. kindasad.gif

sorry to thread jack.. but was wondering.. you can use the stock lug nuts with aftermarket wheels right?

the size of the new wheel doesn't matter?

was just wondering since i've never changed wheels before and since the width of the new wheel is different
