    Aftermarket Lug Nuts?

    From what I've read, aftermarket lug nuts are only for aftermarket rims?... well I have HFP Rims and they aren't actually aftermarket, so does anyone know if i bought aftermarket lugs, would the lug nuts still work?

    aftermarket lugs are tapered more than the oem lugs but i dont think they are that much different as to where they wont be held tight enough

    tapered means the end is sloped in like in the picture below, honda lugs are tapered but not as much as tuner lugs

    its not suggested but it will fit. just know that you will be placing all the force on a much smaller area on the lug nut and problems may occur. imo, i don't think its worth the trouble when i think about the positives and negatives.

    use oem lugs and oem wheels. its that simple. sure you can use aftermarket nuts on oem wheels. you can also drive around on just two lug nuts but would you do that?



    Spoon offers a set of lug nuts for oem honda wheels. get them. then you are way jdm tight.

    find out how much it costs to do it or how much the products cost in case you want to do it yourself.

    for Honda wheels you need ball seated lugs, the acorn (slanted) lugs wil not work. do not use them. most tire shops will not work on your car if you have the wrong lugs as they will be liable if your ish flies off.. if you get aftermarket lugs for your HFP rims, make sure they're ball seated..

    Wrong.





    Aftermarket wheels use a conical/tapered seat lug nut and OEM wheels use a ball/radius seat lug nut.

    Do not mix and match.
