Default Calling all F-Sport Lug Nut Owners....

I need some help with the sizes of the staggered F-Sport lug nuts. I just got some Vossens CV-1s and am looking for some nice lugnuts that are staggered to fit the depth of the holes in the rim. I know the F-Sport lugs fit the F-Sport rims well but I am not sure they will work on my Vossens. Anyone out there know the length of the lugs? That is all I need to be able to determine if I want them or not. Searched everywhere and can't find specs.

The Vossen lug holes have a depth of 1.5" in the front and 1" in the rear as measured from the top of the chamfered seat and the rim edge. I am hopping the F-Sport rims are the same way and the F-Sport lugs are set up with the longer ones being .5" longer.

Any help would be appricaited. Thanks, ANDY

There was a thread about whether the long lug nuts went in the front or the back which I jacked trying to find detailed measurments. No dice so I started a seperate thread. Still nothing.

Thanks for the offer Heckler. I went ahead and just ordered the lugs. Unless you are specifically going to attack the lugs, I will just post the specs here when I get them from Sewell so that the thread is complete and anyone searching in the future can find what I couldn't.

Finally getting around to finishing off this thread.

For those interested, the F-Sport lugs are from McGard as they say so right on them. The shorts are identical to what I have seen in universal sets but can't find the longs anywhere but from lexus.

Shorts: According to the packaging are 31.5mm from top to bottom. This translates to essentialy 1 1/4". Measuring from top to the seat where it would be easy to measure your rims, they are 1 1/16".

Longs: According to the packaging are 46.5mm from top to bottom. This translates to essentialy 1 5/16". Measuring from top to the seat where it would be easy to measure your rims, they are 1 11/16".

On my Vossen CV1s, and most likely all Vossen, this means the fronts (longs) sit just above flush with the rim face, and the rears (shorts) sit just below flush with the rim face. Close enough to matching as most will never notice. If you want to use the longs all the way around, in the rear the lugs will stick out about 1/2 above the rim face.
