    TSW Wheels Lug Bolts Issues

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hi

    Bought a set of 18x8 TSW Sakata 5's for my car and am having a heck of a time trying to find a set of lug bolts to fit them. Obviously the stock ones have the wrong seat, but any of the conical seat bolts I can find are too long and travel too far into the hub and bottom out, effectively locking the wheel in place.

    The shop I have been dealing withs latest idea is to run a small wheel spacer, this will work but its more money and I like the current offset.

    Anyone run into this before? Do I have other options besides spacers or machining the lugs? Any help is greatly appreciated, beyond frustrated...

    Thanks, Adam.

    Get some wheel studs with conical seats.
