Lug Nut Question R14 v R12

[RevoGLI]

Hey guys, long time listener, first time caller.

I bought a set of 14x1.5 lug nuts for stud-to-lug conversion; however, I think I bought the wrong size.

I bought some gold porsche nuts, but it turns out the ball seat is a R14, not an R12. They don't sit perfectly snug in the wheel seat, so I'm 99% sure it's a death sentence.

This is a bad idea, right?

I ran a rounded set of lugs on a v-shaped seat on my STI and never had an issue. Ran it like that for months.


But not sure if this is way different cause it's a lug bolt not nut.

Yes. They wont sit correctly and the therefore could come loose at some point down the road. Time to find a set of R12's
