I have 19" rims & tires at home, ready to be installed this weekend.
My question is, can I use the OEM lug nuts and the OEM wheel lock on my aftermarket wheels?
Don't see why I cant use my OEM lug nuts, just need an official answer.
Couldn't find a definite answer from searching.

Thanks,..

 

Yes you will be fine. I'm using OEM lug nuts and aftermarket locks

 

thats good.. what aftermarket locks are you using? I think i might want to add an extra lock. just in case.

 

Our Factory locks are McGuards locks. I used my OEM locks until I bought Longer McGaurd locks to replace them. The biggest issue I had was attempting to use the locks without scratching the new rims...Which failed. That is why I bought new locks.

 

No problem with original lugs, but sometimes new shiny wheels look better with new shiny lug nuts.

 

If I put two wheel locks on each wheel, would that cause a problem with the balance of the wheels??

 

^no

 

I believe mine are Gorilla locking lug nuts.

 

This goes both ways. Some wheels can not accept the OEM lugs as the OEM lugd are usually a 21mm socket. Some wheels can't accept that large of a socket without tearing the paint off the wheel. If it's a tight fit then you should probably invest in some spline drives.

 

What spline lug do u guys recommend? Also to remove a spline lug, don't u need a special spline lug key??

 

^ yes you do, so it gives you some protection as well.

IMO, go on ebay and search up the mccard spline drives. They are wicked quality (lifetime warranty I believe) and weigh next to nothing. I think they sell for about $55 shipped.

Our thread pitch is 12x1.25 in case you need it.

 

Depends on the wheel you choose. Some can use oe lugs.... very few do.

 

yup thats wat i thought too. thats usually the general rule i go but for some reason the g is different. ive even read of people putting tuner lugs on oem wheels which is usually a no no too. how do we kno if we can or not?

 

Yeah most of the time you can't use oe lug nuts on aftermarket wheels.

 

damn.. so can we use the oem lugs or not????
