Stock lug nuts on volks?

Hey everyone,

Im going to buy some Volk GT30s this week and I want to know if its possible to use my stock lug nuts. I am buying them for a lil bit more then what I first wanted to so I dont want to spend more buying aftermarket nuts. Please lmk.

Thanks

Yea, if you can get them on they will work. But I think aftermarket is well worth the investment.

No you can't. You have to get tuner lugs.

just think how bad you would feel if someone stole your rims, all because you didn't want to invest in some locking lugs ... spend the extra $$ for some peace of mind and it will look a lot nicer too.

My roomate in college decided to get new wheels for his rc car instead of lock nuts for his new wheels on his bmw. I found his car sitting on bricks the very next day. I told him to be happy he at least has new wheels for his rc car and poked fun at him the whole day. The next day my entire car got stolen.

You are paying for some expensive wheels but you want to be cheap on lug nuts?
Tuner nuts go as low as $70 for Muteki.

Your wheels are going to get stolen if you have locking lug nuts or not if they really want them.

But to answer your question, no your stock lug nuts will not fit on those wheels, at lease not if they are the same type as on the G37. You will need tuner type lugs.
