Hi,


I know this must be a retarded question but when going from stock 18inch rims to 20inch rims will the 18inch rims lugnuts work on 20inch rims? This is for a 2006 fx35 going from the 8 spoke 18inch rims to the 8 spoke 06+ 20 inch rims. Thank you so much for your help.
 
OEM wheel will alway fit from a 03 fx to a 08 or higher FX.. So the lug nuts should also fit
 
no question is a retarded question, we all gotta learn somehow :wink:

and yes, like the others have said they will fit no problemo. GL!

Not true. The 2nd Gen OEM wheels use a different style lug nut than the earlier OEM wheels so you must use the 2nd gen lug nuts with 2nd gen wheels and 1st gen nuts with 1st gen wheels.

Here are some pics I took to show the difference.

No problem Rubare, I know many people are not aware of this, so if you purchase 2nd gen wheels for your 1st gen make sure to get the lug nuts.

and to the OP yes those wheels and nuts from the 06 will work perfectly on your 06 :tup: and it will look great
 
Thanks a lot bro, I think any of the stock 20inch rims look good too :tup:
