El Toro Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 i scored on some pug 14 alloys the other day($90 w/ new 185/75/14 m+s on them) but the guy no longer had the pug nuts. im sure you can see where this is going. will the stock sub nuts work to bolt these suckers on and still be SAFE. or do i have to make a trip to tacoma screw. i did a search but did not find what i was looking for. the pic is stock from the wheel page but its the right one.

northguy Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 You'll need to take the trip. The lug nuts for the alloys are designed differently - angled and have a washer to hold the rim on more snugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbrat Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 you need a ball seat 12x1.25 there are different ball seats (like 40 and 60 deg. I think, but not sure which ones are proper.) also, I thought the pug 14" alloys could use the soob lugs, it was just the 15's that needed the ball seat lugs??????

EL TORO Both will work. I went to the garage and managed to dig up 15 of the ones on the right, and one that's just like it but taller. Yours free (special bro price) if you wanna pick them up from North Seattle. I'm kinda close to the Edmonds Ferry. Pm me for my # if you don't still have it.

northguy Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I am constantly reminded and impressed by the giving nature of the members of this board. It's no wonder I spend so much time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobme Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 If U can't get a set together, Hondas used "Ball seat" lugs like that for a while. The wheel studs are a diferent size/pich than the Subaru, but U can change out your'e stock studs for the honda ones and then U can get all the lug nuts U need at any auto part/ tire store.
