lugnut question

Okay I don't know if I need extended lugs or not. I am debating between the Kics R40 and R26. The R40 sounds neat because it's 2-piece design, but will it stick out too far on my wheels? Looking at Konig Zero wrapped by 205/45/16s. I really want the extended but I'll settle for standards.

the only time you NEED extended lugnuts is if you are running longer studs.

i think he's talking about the open-ended lugs.

yes. im talking about open end lugs. if you have an open end lug, your studs could be 3 feet long and it wouldn't matter

i guess you can use those sparkplug sockets (open ended sockets)
and the stud and lug can be 20ft+ long and you can still get them off.

Haha, that would be rediculous and would take like an hour just to take 1 wheel off.
