what size lugs do i need?

I am a car noob and just bought a set of used 20s off a friend and the stock lugs off my stock wheels are too big for the new wheels. so my question is what size lugs should I look for. My friend said something about tuner lugs or somthing. sizing or a link would really help me out. Thanks in advance.

The wheel manufacturer can tell you if you cannot tell. There are several different seat types, conical, spherical, flat, etc. that must be matched as well as the physical lug which I believe is 14 x 1.5

A dealer parts department can tell you or an on line parts catalog.

You need 14 X 1.5 conical lugs for most aftermarket wheels on the RL specifically (do NOT use the standard Honda size, 12 X 1.5, the RL's threads are bigger!!!). Of course, you need to know the precise type from the wheel manufacturer as Chas said above.

The standard lugs are spherical, so they don't work with aftermarket wheels unless those wheels are made to fit (usually they are not).

Here is a link about lugs in general

Also see page 3 of the February 2007 Acura Service News for closeups of the Acura RL lug nut seating surfaces.
