Can I use closed ended lugs with the 3/8 spacer and the 2.5 stud?
2.5 arp stud question?

The closed end oem lug nuts will be close but "should" work with a 3/8" spacer without breaking through the end. With a 1/4" spacer the oem lugs will break through with the 2.5" Steeda studs, in my experience. I use 1/4" spacers with Gorilla extended lug nuts (part #91187XL) on AFS 18x10.5 wheels. When I run my 1/2" spacers I run the oem lug nuts. Always check how many threads or turns you get on the nuts before they completely torque down, 6 turns at the very minimum. Hope this helps.
3/8" is thicker then 1/4" inch, how would they work for 3/8" but break through for 1/4". Im going to just get the gorilla extended lugs just to be on the safe side. The lugs that come with the LFP hub centric wheel spacers are not Gorilla lugs, right?
The 3/8" spacer pushes the wheel out toward the end of the studs farther thus less stud is used (1/4" spacer makes for a longer stud past the lug seat of the wheel). I am not sure what brand lugs LFP uses in their set.
yea your right, wasn't thinking, thanks for the info!
