lug type help!?

[ILoveMyFR-S]

Yes pad on rotor rubbing. I m using some acorn tuner lugs I got from autozone. I put 89 ft of torque but I'm not sure I'm thinking lug nuts might be the problem as well.

I would suppose that if you were using improper lugs that didn't put proper torque on wheel to rotor to hub it could cause louder than usual rubbing.

To some degree there will always be a little bit of noise there in normal operation.

Most all OEM and aftermarket Suby wheels will be of this design. The problem that you will run into with some aftermarket wheels is that the OEM lugs will make contact with the rotor before they are "tight" against the wheel.

So the stock wheels are tapered seat for sure? Excellent, I was hoping I wouldn't need different lugs for my RPF1's (still too cold up here, so they're not even mounted yet).

Yes, the taper is the same degree but it is not necessarily the same surface area. I always recommend to go with aftermarket lugs with aftermarket wheels.

I don't think it's a good idea to "try" and make the OEM nuts work.
