I believe I heard somewhere that the OEM lug bolts are too long and mounting these wheels requires a shorter bolt (but cannot find the proper bolt size anywhere). Also on the Mandrus Millenium wheels the lug bolts are exposed (where as with the OEM wheels the lug bolts are covered by the wheel center cap). Accordingly, I need to find polished stainless steel bolts or less desirable chrome lug bolts. Lastly, early posts on this form all say that our OEM lug bolts have a "spherical seat" but I believe they actually have a "ball seat". Can anyone here point me to the correct lug bolts I need for my wheel installation? Thanks for sharing your experience . . .
Spherical seat is a ball shape. The other option is the conical seat which is shaped like a cone.
You could add studs to the hub and you may have more options in wheel nuts rather than wheel studs which would have to be the correct length or modified to suit.
You could measure the length of the current stud that is sticking out when the stud is seated in the OEM wheel and see what is required to achieve the same amount for the new wheels.
