Rules for using slicks

FASTFRANK · 03-17-2000, 07:46 PM

I have a set of M/T slicks mounted on 10 hole lx rims, do I need longer wheel studs to use them on my 92 lx. Someone told me I won't pass inspection without the longer studs. Thanks

If you use open-ended lugnuts and leave the center caps off during inspection they'll probably let you run. They're trying to make sure that you've got full engagement (1.5D) of the stud into the lug nut. With the open-ended lug nuts, they'll be able to see that your stud has full engagement.
