Conical lug length ?

aran · Sep 6, 2010

I'm putting on some new wheels, with cone seats, so I need new lug bolts. Stock is 28mm, I see ECS only has 30mm available(and I need to order a bunch of stuff, I can track down 28's somewhere else if I have to). Will the 30mm lugs work, or do I need to find some 28mm's somewhere else?

No spacers or anything, just bolting the wheels straight on.

if they are too long they will hit

Usually a few mm's will not hurt anything, but some cars do not have as much clearance as others (example, B5 S4).

You should be fine using a 30mm bolt, but just make sure to spin the wheel before the car is back on the ground. If bolts are way too long, they can bottom out on the hub and do some damage if really cranked down... just make sure the wheel spins freely once the bolts are snug.

Thanks guy's, I went safe and found some 28mm's that are also black, which will go nice with my gunmetal rims. I was surprised ECS didn't have them, but they still got $200 out of me, and all I wanted was some adhesive and lugs.
