I am about to order a set of Rays lugnuts. If I get a flat and need to use my spare tire, which lugnuts do I use?

yep and a separate socket to put on my looong ratchet wrench, plus gloves a rag and handiwipes. never had a flat since I started carrying all this junk. Hope I didn't just put the Kybosh on myself by writing that.

Good thinking, I will throw those in there. Actually, I should just call mitsu and make them get dirty since it's part of our warranty.

The Rays lugs are taper (or conical) type. The OEM lugs are different using a washer as the load bearing surface. The two types are not interchangeable.

I carry a breaker bar and some lugs for my spare (crosses fingers).
