Lugs with RH gt5?
which lugs do i get to use with rh evo gt5s?
the 12X1.5 are to small since the way the center of the rim is shaped it slopes to close to the lugs. i tested 14X1.5 but it seems like it looks to long and looks odd since its not really flush with the spokes. anyone with gt5's especically know which lugs to get and where?
thanks

"...too close to the lugs..."? you mean the socket/key touches the wheel? if so, buy lugs where the socket is inserted into the lug (instead of around) or get a lug with a narrower head (socket will not make the diameter of the lug any wider). open ended lugs will not stick out.

thanks kris.
i got closed ended to fit. i realized how useful an air gun can be. instead of going all the way down onto the lug i went half way and used the gun to tighten it. i also bought a thin wall socket. everything went great. i love these gt5s. i rub over bumps with hnr sports and system in the back but hopefully ill get that taken care of soon. that tab that rubs the wheel is just that 1 lil piece that sticks out into the fender well right? and thats the piece i gotta cut off or do i gotta cut the whole inner fender tab?
thanks
