Hmmm. I just checked mine again and it fits with room to spare. Mine is marked "13/16" Gorilla CR-V" and it fits over the Ford Racing 13/16" open lug nuts. Looks just like the one from Amazon and that's where I purchased it from. After looking at the image closely it's different from the one I have. Sorry about that. I've had it for about four years so maybe they changed it. @cloud9 recommended it to me for our Enkei wheels.ChopSui said:Well I got the socket today, but unfortunately, it does not fit the lug holes even with the sleeve removed. It is the 13/16 and it fits the lug nuts, it's just about .5mm or so too big for the holes. I tried front and rear wheels just to be sure.

@Need4SpeedMotors are the lug holes the same on the R spec wheels as the other wheels? I have the 19x11 rear wheels for both front and back.
The one in this ebay ad looks like the one I have. Check the depth of the area where the engraving is. Maybe ask them if the socket has CR-V on it and if so give it a try.

VoodooBOSS said:The idea of the larger lug nuts is to provide more contact area between the lug nut and wheel for track use. The smaller lug nuts are fine for the street and probably the track too but I’d rather use the larger ones for the track.
Yes they fit fine as long as you have a socket that fits in the hole.AMPowerJ said:Have you tried these new bigger lug nuts with the Project6GR wheels yet?
AMPowerJ said:
Agreed. Looks absolutely fantastic 8)stunya said:I saw AMPowerJ's on the main site banner and had to say something. That focking thing looks AMAZING. WOOF. Great job on the gunmetal with the red. I would have never thought it would look that good (the great detail and lighting certainly help too). NICE CAR!
Need4SpeedMotors said:are you getting atleast 6 turns on the rear with them?
50Deep said:How many threads do you have on the rear? Is because of the lug nuts or do the wheels have too thick of a pad?
