Lug bolts HELP!

What are the OEM lug bolts seat type? Do I need new bolts for aftermarket wheels like Vossen HRE ETC. ?

OEM are cone style lugs. Hard to answer what lugs you need for aftermarket wheels as it can he cone, acorn or flat. Check with the wheel manufacturer and go from there.

Also, if you use spacers, you will need longer nuts.

I suggest you convert to stud and lug nut. Its very simple and not very expensive. You can get the studs and lugs from these guys. I am running them with my Vossens and have had no issues.

Most quality and high end forged wheels are cut to
Accept using stock bolts. But you have to be careful as some wheels might fit on other carsif you are buying them used

Big companies like Vossen and HRE will cut your wheel to accept OEM lug bolts.
If it doesn't, most of the time they will supply you with the new set or tell you which one to buy.
