I totally agree - ECS Tuning bolts are great; I bought a set from them that were a bit longer than stock to fit my rear spacers.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1Original post

Hi all, About to put on fresh tires, and want to take the opportunity to change the old crappy lugs to new black lugs (in advance of painting the wheels). I've read conflicting stories about sizes etc. These are my wheels.....hope someone can help!! TIA

POST 2Original post

If you are not using spacers, these stock length ones from ECS Tuning will work for you. I used them for a while and found them to be fine. If you use spacers, they have some that are longer. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-ecs-parts/black-stock-length-lug-bolts-set-of-20/ps19d28mwznkt/

POST 3Original post

To the best of my knowledge - no spacers. I've never had them before - is there a way to know for sure?

POST 4Original post

If you remove the wheel you can see if there is a spacer. The spacer would be between the wheel and the hub of the brake rotor. Just an FYI that you could not have them on one axle but have them on the other. You can Google wheel spacers to get an idea of what they look like.

POST 5Original post

Yup - Just remove the wheel. You'll know immediately if one is there. Fast and simple. I totally agree - ECS Tuning bolts are great; I bought a set from them that were a bit longer than stock to fit my rear spacers. To match them, I buffed out the stock front bolts and painted the heads black. TBH, I'd just buy new if I was doing it all over again but YMMV.

POST 6Original post

If you anticipate removing and re-mounting your wheel often, definitely consider doing a stud conversion. I ordered a Motorsport Hardware kit from FCPEuro - lug bolts and studs are both WEAR ITEMS and should be REPLACED EVERY FEW YEARS, if not more if you track the car often. I used to use the extended lug bolts from Numeric when I had the OEM wheels and spacers on the car. They were great and had a 2 piece design as to not scratch the wheel lug seats when tightening them down. Using the OEM option from ECS is also a great option for stock lengths (no spacers). Also, DO NOT buy into the stupid titanium lug bolt/nut fad . Titanium is NOT designed to be stretched and using them as lug bolts/studs is a horrible idea since it places stress in directions that titanium is not designed to be stressed. Multiple sources explain the finite tensile strength of titanium compared to steel. The few grams of weight you'll save aren't worth it. You can Google more info on the physics of it as needed, but if you take 1 single thing away from my post, please it be my adamant recommendation against titanium lug bolts/nuts.

POST 7Original post

Thanks everyone. I ordered the black lugs from ECS....will be putting them on at the same time as the new tires on Friday night!

POST 8Original post

Add an AFTER picture if you have the opportunity. I am curious to see the improvement.
