Which Lug Nuts on Razors

I'm about to install my Shelby Razors and was wondering if I can use the original Lug Nuts ?

Will the socket of the wrench fit ?

Mine came with lugnuts but I don't know if they are the same at the factory ones. I can check tomorrow if you like. I'm at work really late tonight.

The stock lug nuts do not fit the razors, your wheels should have come with new lug nuts.
You also do not need centering rings

Thanks guys for the inputs, unfortunately my wheels came with no centering rings, so I went and bought 4 from the local speedshop. The only difference from the one I saw on Glenn's page is that mine are tapered at one end.

So I don't know if they will fit ?



The picture is blurry but you can see the tappered lip near my fingers

I think you'll be fine. Mine are plastic but I don't know why yours wouldn't work.

Thank you guys,

I did install them and they fitted fine in the wheel as the wheel is tappered at the end.

On the hub itself it was thight, I had installed it on the wheel first but it was very hard to get the wheel in place, I put it the best I could and then srewed the lugs slowly by alternating until it got falt against the brake disk. It was long but I think it was the safest way.

No vibration and everything is fine.
