depends on your offset. I had to get open ended tuner lugs (Work lugs) cuz i ran a 5mm spacer with longer bolts on a 19 x 8.5 +42 offset wheels.

Ha no doubt, after dropping 2300 it doesn't make sense to go lame on the lugs. I wanted to use the oem wheel lock though, might look a little odd but rather have a little bit of security.

By the way truplay8, you're not dropped right? I'm thinking of not dropping because I have a front lip and a angled driveway unfortunately that will be a bitch to go up lowered.

use tuner lugs for aftermarket wheels

because oem lugs and wheels have curved contact area where the lugs meet the wheels, after market wheels have flat contact area, therefore you would want to use tuner lugs because tuner lugs also have a flat contact area

oem lugs would probably hold the wheels in place, but would you risk damaging the wheels and your safety?

as far as security goes, mcgard do sells tuner style wheel locks, mcgard is the company that makes OEM wheel locks...well at least i know they makes OEM Honda locks...not sure who makes infiniti's locks,
