I'm looking to get a new set of lug nuts for my 97 OBW. I read in here somewhere that Sube's take a 30 degree seat, but all the aftermarket ones I can find are 60 degrees. Did I read wrong, or will I need a set of Subaru lugs? I'm looking for black ones to not show up so much against dark gray rims. Thanks for any info.

goto the junkyard pull em and put em in ur pocket, walk out

both correct 30 + 30 = 60

Not sure I follow. Here's what the folks at Gorilla show.

Or you could look at it this way:

 

60 + 30 = 90

 

It depends which baseline you use for measuring.

You want to get more confused? Try working with a structural engineer, and tell him he's using the wrong baseline on a drawing he's designing for the part to be manufactured (baseline doesn't exist on the part, so angle cannot be measured directly once the part is cut to dimensions). Or better yet, two engineers working on the same part, and they use different baselines for the same angle.

:cool:Got the nuts from Summit Racing and a new set of Goodyear Assurance Triple-Treads. I think it came out good.
