Lug Nutz for Aftermarket wheels, What Size?
 

I just picked up a set of speedy lite 5 spoke rims with the 5x114 pattern. Only thing is what size Lugs should I use??? I used the search engine on the forums here and havent had a hit.

Somebody help!

Thanks.

Can't the wheel manufacturer help you with that?
It'll partly depend on whether you need tuner lugs or longer wheel studs, or even spacers. Do you have centering rings? Do these wheels need them to fit correctlly?
What is the offset of these wheels? Offset is very important to handling/steering performance.
The stock lugs are 12mmx1.5.

Are there even different size lug nuts? I thought all that was an issue was the distance of the lugs and the offset. Well other stuff too but I thought nuts are all the same, if not, how come there aren't different size lug wrenches.

Of course there are different sized lug nuts and wrenches. My wife's car takes a 19mm wrench while our 3's take a 21mm. The thread size has to match the car you're putting them on, but "tuner" lugs are generally thinner walled and/ormay require special wrenches. Some are splined rather than hexed. Some have an internal hex (allen headed.)Most AM wheels these days require some kind of tuner lugs.
They can also be deeper to accommodate tighter spaces in aftermarket wheels. When dealing with AM wheels, you sometimes need longer lug studs as the mounting surface of the new wheel may be thicker than the stock studs will allow for.

Most installations are not that complicated, but it's a good thing to ask questions and do a test fitto find out before purchasing new wheels.
