Rays lug nuts

[marinetowing]

I have been offered a set of blue rays lug nuts on another forum for a reasonable price, they came off an E7 so I assume they will fit my GSR?
The other question is that these are described as "short nuts" will these be suitable for a set of tarmacs-which require 3-4mm spacers to clear my brakes?
Any help would be appreciated, I am keen to buy them but need to be sure they will be suitable.

Cheers
Scott

same pitch scotty, 1.5mm its the stud length that you have to watch
with spacers

Thanks George, I think I should change my studs before I hit the road again.

I'd love some blue RAYS wheel nuts for my wheels but geesh those things are expensive as I've been eyeing off EBay auctions hoping to catch a set at a good price lol...

arnt the rays one's aluminum?
I was talking to a bloke who had Al nuts on his drift car and he said after a few times of taking them off and on they started stripping. Not something you wanna happen to 200+ nuts (or what ever price they are)

Plus what if you hit ya rims and the nuts sheer off?

they should be annodised to make them stronger

also you dont need to tighten them as much as steel ones

if the are torqued evenly and to the correct tension they are just fine

My "****** nuts" have lasted two years with no problems (except they have faded slightly). I do them up with a torque wrench every time.
