Default Lug nut source?
I just realized I'll be needing new lug bolts with the new wheels. Any recommended sources?

Thanks! Looks like I may end up picking up some slightly thicker spacers for the new offset.

Do a stud conversion and put an end to buying new bolts for different spacers

Default I agree - except a good quality stud kit is about $200 and good bolts are $3 each
I won't put cheap studs on my car - need to be grade 10.9 or better like H&R's.

Default & I would still need new nuts, since I am back to ball seats.
& wouldn't you still need different studs for different spacers? Unless you want them to stick out a lot (which could make them hard to grab with a socket).
