EVO 8 Enkei Lug

[hocka09]

Hey guys. I've searched this question but it seemed that no one really cared about the correct answer, rather "it'll work" or "it's a stock wheel so why not."

So here's my situation:

I have a set of EVO IIX (8) Enkei's and have noticed that they are of the mag or washer type of lug seat. I know that the stock talon swirlies and many other stock wheels have a tapered type of seat. So what I'm wondering is should I go out and purchase new lug nuts that have a washer seat or will the stock 2g lugs work with this rim?

I've been using the stock lug nuts on my 98 GSX with EVO8 wheels for years now with no issues.

Thanks for the reply.

You know, now that I think of it the stock lugs may be mag type. This link shows pics of the stock lugs and they are definitely mags...

It looks like the stock lugs are indeed mag type and will work well with the EVO 8's

Stock one with my evo IX rims also no issues

The stock lugs are indeed mag-washer type, just lazy me wasn't able to go out and check the lugs

But now it's published, EVO wheels require mag type lugs.

i had the same question a little while ago and was able to learn the hard way. i used open ended nuts and then ended up backing off. then used accorn style (mag) lug nuts and they were good. i just happened to have a set from my gst and everything worked out fine. shouldnt have an issue!

Damn near lost a wheel using aftermarket lug nuts on a stock wheel. Lesson learned
