OEM lug bolts
Quick question, I am taking a road trip to New York and I will be switching to the stock OEM 16 wheels what is the correct lug bolt size for these wheels? MY 20's take a much shorter bolt that dont work. Please advise thanks.

I keep a set in my trunk because they are the only lugs that work for my spare which is factory. ( good advice for folks who have A/M wheels ).
The (free) streets in the entire N/E aren't great, but unless you plan on 4 wheeling on a lot of side roads, the main roads are pretty wheel friendly. It has been a few months since the last big snow so most of the holes have been filled with asphalt by now.

I am the godfather to my niece so I have to be there. I will be in NY on June 20th for a few days. Yeah I know most of the roads are ok but on big dips they rub a liitle bit and I just put tires all the way around which set me back around $1,600 plus I will have a full car and see no need to wearing out the tires on a 2k mile total trip. the OEM tires are brand new and personally it is a much smoother ride than the 20's. I just hit me today that the oem lugs are know where to be found. so i need to order a set pretty soon to be ready for the trip. i decided to drive since on the way back i have a business meeting in PA so I thought why not knockout two birds with one stone.

Cool,, I'll chime in this weekend with all of the specs you need. I think they best route my be the dealer for OEM lugs because they are such a weird item and most after market places only carry lugs for aftermarket wheels.
Check in this weekend lie sat. night i should have something if you haven;t found what you need by then.

Actually
45mm is longer than a 1.5" by about .2inch. a 1.50 in shank would be a 38mm.
I an on my way back home now so I will give you a good measurement.
The overall length is important, but you need to make sure you have enought threads on the shank.
I'l check back ater.

A buck a piece is pretty cheap. I'd think twice about using bolts of unknown quality on my wheels. Those RAD dacromet-plated lug bolts in the earlier link are OEM quality.

ANyway.
Jfendis430, I measured my factory bolts an they are 45mm shank length 20mm of which are threads at 1.50 pitch. They are also ball seat type.
I think you will be okay with the bolts you found on Ebay.
