Lug nuts for 350R and N4S (Project 6) wheels

[maestromaestro]

I am entertaining the idea of buying a set of the Project 6 wheels, and they told me that - because the studs on the R are longer than the non-R cars, they recommend using open-ended lug nuts. However, I don't like this look and am trying to figure out the "stacking" option - using a close-ended lug on top of the open-ended one for each stud.

There is a thread on a similar subject, but I could not find the exact answer. I'd like to find a set of black lug nuts that would go on top of the open-ended ones that fit the N4S wheels.

All answers are welcome...

I have the R and use the stacking option on the front. I posted this on the 6gr thread a while back. I use the long 2" closed truck black lugs and they work good on the rear and stack on top of the open lugs on the front with a good look. I only torque them to about 30ish lbs and they don't loosen at all.

Do you happen to have a linky or the name of the truck lug nuts? I am assuming that the stubby open-ended ones that N4SM supplies fit OK underneath those?

Thanks @moto
Can you send link or description to the lugs that work for the NFS in R Spec for the R? I was really hoping to use these on the track but here they could rub, so maybe just great street wheels and use the Carbons on track.

Actually just looked that link up and those things are long- presumably you may not need the two lug nut concept up front if you went with these? How about the back- are you using these back ere as well, or something shorter?

Just had these bad boys installed on the R. You DO need to stack for the front, these studs are loooong. In the rear, the long nuts alone work. The front and the rear in the photos.

Yes. This is correct. The long front studs stick through about 3" so no closed lugs will work. The back stick through about 1 3/4".
That should answer your question?

Well, my original question had been answered; this is how I ended up with this solution. Hopefully, this answers @Etchhead's question.

Ok, so long ones work front and back but you also have to use additional lug nuts in the front and stack. My NFS wheels came with lugs I'm told so hopefully open so I can still use in front along with these longer lugs.

Thanks TMO!
