Need some info on lug nuts ASAP
Hey guys,
UPS just dropped my new Forgestar CF10's off at my doorstep...Everything great but NO LUG NUTS in any of the boxes which I paid for and ordered with the wheels!!! Go figure they didn't show up...Nothing is easy with me...
Anyway, anyone know if I can use my stock MB lugs or do I need the new ones? I was told I wasn't gonna find better lugs than stock anyway...I'm pissed because I wanted to get them mounted today but looks like I'm gonna have to wait which is par for the course when it comes to my luck!!
Thanks

I'm fairly certain you need conical type lugs with the forgestars 'cause the stock lugs are ball seat. don't mix and match. using the ball seat lugs vice conical, they want screw in as far, hence you may strip one out driving down the road.
