Hey guys, does anyone know what is the size for the DC2R stock wheel nuts? The thread 1.25 or 1.5? Is it 22mm, 25mm or 50mm in length? And any idea for the diameter?

Put it this way. On a stock rim the "long" style lug nuts will stick out a bit. If you don't want them sticking out then go for the "short" type.

But please, do not use these aftermarket alloy 'cone' seated lug nuts on the 'bowl' seated Oem wheels. The mating surface area is very much decreased and I would be afraid of running in to serious problems. I have observed this on my car and have reverted back to my Oem lug nuts.

For the minute bit of weight saving and safety. I would not bother.

they are not made for each other....

so what brand of lug nuts can anyone reccomend other than ray's as they are the cone type and are not suitable for the stock dc2r rims.

^^^ exactly :thumbsup:

too many ppl misinformed and use aftermarket lugs for oem wheels. the shape and design is different, just have a look at your oem lugs and "rays" or aftermarket "tuner" lugs. very unsafe and would damage ur rims too.
