Get a 14mm stud kit for the front hubs, then you can use factory (ball seat) lugnuts or conical seat lufnuts (available at any FLAPS). Make sure you keep a set of ball seat lugnuts for your spare.

www.prestigewheel.com will have the correct lug bolts and the stud kits.

Good luck, > Has anyone ever found a really correct longer from mounting bolt ? > 14 mm thread, > same length at the stock alloy wheel front mounting bolt - but those are > cone face and Ball Face where it contacts the wheel is what's normally > needed. > and.........19 mm ( 3/4 inch ) hex lug wrench size. > > havn't ever quite found that combination.
