Lug nuts

Dumb question, but I need new lug nuts as my current one for my 2012 are rusting. What size are they and where can I find them. Thanks

You want to look for thread pitch 14x1.5. You can buy them from most tire shops and of course online.

Assuming you are running the OEM wheels, you will also need ball seat lug nuts, something most shops are not going to stock in a 14x1.5. You can typically find aftermarket sets on eBay for around $30 or so. Just make sure they are ball seat if you are using them with the OEM wheels.

And the size would be the same14x1.5? And stock lug nuts aren't good for aftermarket wheels?

^no, because OEM wheels use a ball seat/style lug.

aftermarket wheels have a tapered seat which only tapered lug nuts can fit

Sorry to be a pain, but when you say tapered, can you name some types. I just don't want to buy the wrong ones. Would tapered acorn bulge work?

i'm using my acorn seated lugs on my stock winter wheels... did it last year with no problem... probably coming off for summer wheels beginning of april but this thread makes me question if there is an issue doing that.

if you use the wrong type; there just wouldnt be enough surface area to hold onto; potentially having them come loose.

So I was looking at my wheels today and I read the back and it states they are Enkei and also has a Honda motors stamped into them. Could they be stock? They are 20" Rims and if I read it correctly, it says j1 as the model.

With those 20" wheels, I currently have summer tires on them (245 35zr20 95y), what would be the size for all season tires? Tryed searching the same size and no one has all season tires for that size.

There are a few all season in those sizes. Continietal DWS are ones that come to mind.
