Longer lug nut heads?

[pachieh]

Anyone know of any lug nuts that are longer than normal on the heads? I don't have spacers.

My Vossens are really deep and the regular lug nuts cause the sleeved socket to go all the way in and chip the finish when torquing down... so much that I have to take the wheels in today to get fixed.

I think I only need ones that are about half and inch longer on the head piece.

Or maybe a longer socket?

Some sockets like yours and Sunex flare out and can cause damage. I have the same problem on my rear 612m's.

I swapped to this socket which has a smaller/consistent diameter and I have no more fear of scratching: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007QV5WAO...p_mob_ap_share

Thanks for the advice, I've had this problem in the past with a set of rims and that exact socket. Ordered the one in the link and will check it out

I would recommend going with a stud and lug nut setup. I put MotorsportHardwares kit on my X5M. Intall the wheel studs which is very simple and now you have the normal lug nut sizes available to you.
