Default Muteki Lug Nuts

Hi, i'm new to this site and this is my first post. I want to get the muteki opened ended lug nuts in red since i got a rs 5. But for all the sites that were selling them said that they dont fit on stock rims? And i was wondering why and would it fit on mines? They are the stock 18" rims for the rs5 btw.

they wont fit. muteki lugs are acorn style. stock wheels use mag/shank style.

Well to put it simply, dont use any lugs but the type that came with your stock wheels. Its dangerous to use aftermarket lugs on your stock wheels.

take one of the lugs off and check to see which type it is.

those are the closed ended muteki lugs. basically the same thing everyone buys at autozone.

the open ended ones are the same style just shorter for certain wheels that cant fit long lugs.
