  • Lug nut help

    Got a set of Cobra R wheels, Anyone know which lug nuts would be best for these wheels, the hole tapers in and using a thin wall socket will work but anyone have suggestions on longer lug nuts to make changing them easier? If so what size do I get? And where? Thanks!

    I've got the R wheels and just went to Autozone for a complete set of new ones. A "slim" 4-way is all I need to get to the lugs.

      So your using regular open ended lugs, or longs?

        Regular off-the-shelf stuff. If you're not sure, take one out and try it on the car.

          I am assuming you have the 95 Cobra Rs? If so, a standard, 19mm deepwell socket will work just fine. You can buy these fairly cheap at any Lowes/Home Depot, or any auto store. Lug nut should be 1/2x20.

          If they are 2000 R rims, I am not sure on that.

            I too, assumed that's what he has. Mine are the '95 R's.

              Yeah they are the 95 Cobra Rs. I got a set of lugs at vatozone with locks, and a deep socket set worked fine. Come to find out the prob was on one of the rims, the holes don't taper in as much as the other three do and that happened to be the wheel I was trying everything on?!? Weird!! Oh well they were free!
