How can I tell if I need new lugs?

[Paul91]

I bought the car with an 18/19 combo. For tracking purposes, I am throwing the OEM 15/16s on there.

I'm not sure if the ones on there are stock or not...

Do I need to buy new OEM lug nuts?

Thanks-

Your aftermarket wheels are likely using tapered lug-nuts. OEM wheels should use the non-tapered type. Do it right and get the right lug-nuts for your OEM wheels.

besides learning the difference between the various types of lug nut seats,use the search our own nsxtasy has some nice pics through the years,if a lug does not turn easily and binds iether coming off or going on toss it.
