YearOne 17x9" Snowflake Wheel Lug Nuts / Lugs?

[TOG]

If you are running YearOne 17x9" Snowflake wheels, what are you using for lug nuts or studs?

The OEM Snowflake wheel lug nuts only get aboutfour4 threads of engagement with the OEM length studs - NOT SAFE!

You need longer studs or shoulder lug nuts to get sufficient thread engagement.

There should be at least as much thread engagement as the diameter of the stud or bolt, in this case, 7/16".

Thank you!

A possible solution found deep within the YearOne (misbehaving) website.

YearOne P/N MRG1445.

They have a longer shank and appear to have the correct conical surface for the 2nd Gen wheels that I have.

I hope to test-fit later today if FedEx comes through.

I am having the same problem.

I had to take one front tire off.

Go to put it back on; I can't get Year one 17" to torque.

I have stripped two sets of wheel studs and ruined the lug nuts.

I am going to try longer wheel studs for the front wheels.

When you ordered your wheels, did you, by chance, order everything together in the set or order separately?

I am looking at ordering and thinking of ordering separately and getting the MRG1445 lugnuts.

I ordered the correct YearOne lug nuts only after realizing the OEM ones were unsafe due to insufficient thread engagement.

I was lucky!

Thanks!

I will make sure I order those lugnuts too! Glad you noticed that, it could have been very bad!
