Lug nuts cap needed?

[parkfantacy]

So I have converted from bolts to studs & lug nuts recently. Looks great even on OEM rims but wondering if possible to put a cap on it as I heard lug nuts rust inside quicker if go capless. Cheers.

Studs: 77mm
Lug nuts: R40 iconix M14x1.50

Project kics r40 is pure junk, they will rust on inside. I had 3 sets. Never again. You will definitely need some caps.

You’re awfully close. From your picture it appears you might not be able to. I ran a 65mm stud on mine and I was able to run the caps.

This looks shitty.

I can understand using studs and lugs, but why not use the right length? Proper-length studs with closed lugs would look better and not corrode.

Also, your wheels are filthy.

I know that wheels havn't been washed for weeks, but I'm changing to new wheels soon, so why bother. The studs are the only few in stock I can grab, and the length is not that bad if considering putting spacers in the future. Anyway, I appreciate advice rather than judgement, mate.

I know, that's why I go capless initially. But if look closer, still have few gap that might fit some caps. Anyway, I'm happy to run it capless, just seek possibilities. cheers

there is another kinda caps that you can run, its the rubber ones from amazon. those would fit around your studs

I guess that would do, just matter of colours and styles. R40 is 19Hex, so 19mm?

I never understood the exposed stud conversions myself. I guess it gives that SpeedRacer look.

When you change the wheels a lot (drag radials on and off) it's just convenient.

If you have access to a 3d printer and some fusion360 knowledge I'd imagine you could print a set of caps out of PETG or possibly even PLA!
