to put it simply, no you should not be running them.
basically, aftermarket wheels = aftermarket lugs
and oem wheels = oem lugs.
this will explain better.

Just a regular socket wrench, but instead of using a regular 6-sided socket, I used the multi-ridged kind like this http://image.shutterstock.com/displa...und-465703.jpg
which was a bad idea.
I have them on the HFP Fit wheels. Just took a pic
I'll see if I can get my hands on a torque-wrench where I can set it to 85
Also, can you explain the tapered seat vs the OEM ball seat? Should I not be running these even on the HFP wheels?

If you MUST use the lug nuts, then SSR has a solution to it:

Thanks guys! I had no idea about any of this, you learn something new every day. I'm gonna swap back out for the OEM's as soon as possible.
I may go for those conversion washers in the future.
They are a high offset, which I didn't realize when I bought them.
Spacers? Quick answer - No. You shouldn't.
BUT (my EP loves throwing "buts" my way) I did...only on the passenger side rear wheel Long story...
I've talked with 2 other people with the same wheels, with no spacers, and they don't have any issues with scraping at all. So any normal EP should be fine.

Engine splash shield came off while backing out of a lift. How bad is it to drive without it?
yeah mitch hit the nail good. No cai and you'll be fine. I haven't had any splash shields since this spring

i have a c/f Seibon spoiler (adjustable mugen style) and is kinda lose, the bolts are tight but i can feel the spoiler (just the duck tale part) moving around, like theres a bolt lose on each side but i cant see any bolts/screws that holds this together.
anybody had this problem before? im thinking in losing up the bolts and pull off the wing and see if i can do something about this.
any input?
I have 2 Takata harnesses but no eye bolts. Do i need a combo of both short and long? Or just short? Please lemme know, I'm just waiting to order them. Thanks.
Just received my HFP kit, what is this made out of? The side skirts seem so flimsy.
