So I broke a few studs trying to loosen some lug nuts from my factory wheels and I bought some tougefactory extended wheels studs. The wheel studs will be installed to be used with factory oem ix wheels.
I am aware that the wheels require a mag-style seat for the lug nuts.

The TougeFactory extended wheel studs I have

I was wondering which would be my best option for choosing lug nuts?

I prefer the last option but as you can see, they do not have any available. I want to go the cheapest route and it appears that the closed ended extended lug nuts are the cheapest but I do not know if it will clear the extended wheels studs. Just because the lug nuts say they are 50mm doesn't mean they may be able to tighten all the way to the end of the wheel stud. So I don't know, I need your guys' opinions! Maybe you guys can help me find something like the last option? I wish they had those available.


Spacers are not an option as they are way too expensive.

Used on my IX BBS wheels with spacers and ARP studs. No issues.

I have ARP extended studs all around and for bolting up my stock wheels I just took a cutoff wheel and trimmed off the "cap" to the factory lug nuts. I'm not the first person to do this nor will I be the last but I can confirm that it is a simple process and doesnt have any safety concerns assuming you dont trim it too far down. You asked for the cheapest option and that is ti...

As for closed ended vs open ended that'll depend on how deep the lug nuts are and also takes into account your actual wheel. Your best bet it something open ended.

But just curious, if you arent planning on running spacers then why did you bother getting extended studs in the first place? You can pick up replacement studs for cheap and then you wouldnt even have to worry about different lug nuts. Hell, I've got a bunch of stock studs kicking around from going to longer studs and wheel bearings. If you cover shipping I'll gladly send them to you...

Youre right! Sorry i forgot to include that im planning to run lighter aftermarket wheels. Thats why i wanna go the cheap route and then run spacers with tuner style lugs for the aftermarket wheels.
