October 25, 200520 yr i scored on some pug 14 alloys the other day($90 w/ new 185/75/14 m+s on them) but the guy no longer had the pug nuts. im sure you can see where this is going. will the stock sub nuts work to bolt these suckers on and still be SAFE. or do i have to make a trip to tacoma screw. i did a search but did not find what i was looking for. the pic is stock from the wheel page but its the right one.

October 25, 200520 yr You'll need to take the trip. The lug nuts for the alloys are designed differently - angled and have a washer to hold the rim on more snugly.
October 25, 200520 yr I believe Ed Rach can tell you the size and # that will work that can be bought from Schmucks.
October 25, 200520 yr you need a ball seat 12x1.25 there are different ball seats (like 40 and 60 deg. I think, but not sure which ones are proper.) also, I thought the pug 14" alloys could use the soob lugs, it was just the 15's that needed the ball seat lugs??????
October 25, 200520 yr Author ya these rims need the special nuts for the alloy the ones that look like mushrooms. mtnman38 brought one over and its a perfect fit...damn....let me know if any of yal have a set layin around that ya want to sell. EL TORO
October 26, 200520 yr yes, as that's my pic, but I've seen the 14" alloys with the above listed "steel" lug nuts...

EL TORO Both will work. I went to the garage and managed to dig up 15 of the ones on the right, and one that's just like it but taller. Yours free (special bro price) if you wanna pick them up from North Seattle. I'm kinda close to the Edmonds Ferry. Pm me for my # if you don't still have it.
October 26, 200520 yr I am constantly reminded and impressed by the giving nature of the members of this board. It's no wonder I spend so much time here.
October 26, 200520 yr If U can't get a set together, Hondas used "Ball seat" lugs like that for a while. The wheel studs are a diferent size/pich than the Subaru, but U can change out your'e stock studs for the honda ones and then U can get all the lug nuts U need at any auto part/ tire store.
October 26, 200520 yr I am constantly reminded and impressed by the giving nature of the members of this board. It's no wonder I spend so much time here. Speakin of that. . . I think that for the rest of my life whenever I eat crab, I'm always gonna compare it to the stuff you brought down from up North.
October 26, 200520 yr I'll see if I can get over there for ya. I am super busy with my last year(finally) of college and my Videography business. But if I can get a bunch you can just have em. I'll PM later with details.
