Lug Nut Issues
I just recently put some concave custom painted white and black 22" wheels on my 2018 LS500 F Sport. Because the wheels are concave and the back wheels are even more concave the lug nut stick out a good inch or more. The front wheels I dont have this problem. The guy at the tire place said I could do open ended lug nuts on the rear wheels, but even then the stud might stick out the open end of the lug nut. I HATE the way it looks -- it just looks goofy -- and I am fixating on it. The guy I bought them for says its completely normal for concave wheels to have this happen. I cant return the wheels as they are custom painted, etc. Does anybody have any suggestions or insight

Maybe it depends on the offset of the wheels. My front lugs are pretty sunken in and my rears are even with the face.

Thanks for the replies, it ended up being that they sent me lug nuts that were too long. I put the shorter lug nuts on the rear wheels and they dont go past the wheel facing...what a relief !!!
