lug nuts for longer studs? I just bought the ARP wheel studs that are about an inch longer than stock. Does anyone make a closed lugnut that works with these things? What lugs do you guys use? If it was a track only car i wouldnt care to run open end lug nuts but i dont think that they will look good with my stock rims. So do i have any other options? thanks

I've got open lug nuts on my new set as well, pretty ugly..
I thought about getting some lug nut caps to put on, just silver or black or something, but apparently there aren't any?
The only other set of lug nuts I can find are those stupid chrome ones, and I've just got the silver aluminum wheels.

they are an inch longer...i just called summit and ordered some moser wheel studs that are 1.5 inches..they said they are heat treated like the arp wheel studs but i get to use my closed lugs. Which is going to make it look much better

I drilled a holes on the lug caps for my stock wheels. They hold the centercap on my 16 5 stars. painted the gold ends of the wheels studs black, you can;t even notice. looks good.

they dont have any....no one makes a closed lug for the 2.5'' studs. Just call up summit and order the moser ones...you want the ones that are 1.5'' from the bottom of the head to the end of the threads. He said they were just as strong same material etc but they are the correct size. it was like 17 bucks too
