Default Just Bought 4 Sebring ITC Wheels,Need Info Please!

Plan to put these 18x7.5 beauties on my 90 LS400 and i was told i cannot use the stock Lexus lugs with the Sebring-ITC centercap (too wide) that i would need tuner lugs.Can anyone tell me what these are and what size i will need so that they will fit on my LS 400? TIA!

You need to get some "Acorn" 12 x 1.5 lugnuts. Any wheel shop should be able to get you some. Gorilla makes some nice lugnuts...you can get them from Summit Racing or Discount Tires.

You can also get a 20 piece wheel lock kit from Gorilla (again from Summit or Discount) and you'll have 20 wheel locks (5 per wheel x 4 wheels) as lugnuts...it's called the "SYSTEM"....the wheel locks utilize the same key.

Default Thanks Guys...

Did some research and found the Gorilla 20 lugnut locking system for about 40.00.Looks like that's the way to go.I guess i'll be expecting a way different ride going from the stock 15's to Michelin pilots on 18's.I assume once these are on the car i should have a 4 wheel alignment done?
