Aftermarket BMW wheels; Lug nut question
Want to use these http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand
wheels (or something similar) on my 88 T/A. It says to use O.E.M. BMW lug bolts with these. My Question is what lug nuts would I have to use to mount them on MY car? Would I just need some aftermarket (closed end) acorn style nuts with the same degree of taper as the stock ones? Or something else?
thanks,
John C.

Re: Aftermarket BMW wheels; Lug nut question
Any clearance issues with 17x8 5.24" BS on front, and 18x9 5.83" BS on the rear? Car is all stock / original. Disc front, drum rear brakes...Thinking of running 245-45-17 front tires and 265-40-18 on rear. I may lower the car a bit in the future (and add an adjustable panhard bar) but it is stock ride height for now.

Re: Aftermarket BMW wheels; Lug nut question
Both have a little.too.much backspacing. Front should be closer to 4.5" and the rear closer to 5.5".
