I read somewhere that you are not supposed to use your stock Lug Nuts on after-market wheels? Is this true? Apparently, the tapered stock lugs damage the newer wheels, then you cannot take the wheels off the hubs.

I have ITP Baja wheels fastened by the stock lug nuts. Should I get new (flat) lugs for my quad?


Thanks

yes you need new flat ones. alot of the guys i know just turn there factory nuts over and install them with the taper facing out. seems kinda a cheap ass way of doing it to me.

some aftermarket wheels need the taper. i believe the c seris wheels do. the baja's dont, so like zax said, turn them over(taper out). when i do this, i also put washers under the nuts. it keeps the nuts from digging in to the wheel and marring up the holes.

spend the 12 bucks and buy the right lug nuts...... flat locks or itp makes nuts too

we have the flat nuts that you need for aftermarket wheels (the ones that do not use a tapered lug)
