Lug Nut Help Needed
 

Guys, I really want to put red lug nuts on my Raven with stock wheels. But I read a lot of information that tells most aftermarket Lugs state they are not for stock rims. Can anyone provide some help on a brand that works.

60 tapered aka tuner lugs will work with stock wheels because Subaru is weird like that. Stock wheels are tapered IIRC.

It's going to look weird with aftermarket (tuner) lugs. The "lip" of the tuner lug is longer, which means it will stick out of the OEM lug nut holes. See picture below for a comparison. It's best to stick with OEM lugs if you're using OEM wheels IMO.

The taper is what's important. Both have a 60 degree taper; thus they are entirely compatible. Though I agree that the exposed lug seat is a poor choice if not aesthetically then corrosion wise.

Buy what ever lugs you want and some high temp enamel paint. Sand down the lugs follow instructions for high temp painting and your good to go, sure with wear and tear they may flake a little but not by much and you can get the color you want.
