We bought a set of c5's. And theres are 2 diffrent type of patterns...I think 4x100 which is ours..and I think the other one is 4x114.3, But one the rim's only the 4x114.3 pattern has the groves for the tools to tighten the lugs... we dont have any tooks that could tighten it, because theres no grove, and it dont fit...Do we need any special tools? or sould we just take them to a shop just for install them? what should we do? or maybe c5's arent made for our Ep's....the wheels are 215/45/17x7 and it was on a 2002 accord b4 we bought it..and they are only 6 months old.
::sigh:: need reply a.s.a.p
-Thanx in advance

we are using stock lugs for now..just that the tool's dont fit because theres no grove for the 4x100 pattern.

sounds like you need to get some tuner lugs. i couldn't put my wheels on with stock lugs either.i got my lugs for 25.00 at the local wheel shop.hopefully this helped.and post some pics with the c5's on.i would like to see how they look on an ep.

Is there diffrent types of tunner lugs? or is it all universal(sp?) Or do you think a shop could just install it for me with with stocks lugs?

there are a couple of different ones.i've had the kind where the tool goes on the outside of the lug.and the kind where the tool goes on the inside of the lug.personaly i like the ones that the tool goes inside,but thats because i had a blow out and went to change the tire and one of the lugnuts that the tool goes on the outside broke,and i had to drill out my stud to get the wheel off.i doubt they will be able to use your stock lugnuts,and if they do i don't think that the lugnuts will seat right.this might cause a wheel to come flying off. hoped this is useful
