I would install new rims,14x6 ET38,and i've seen that the Muteki open lugs that i have are skrewed in studs only for 16mm...it's enough ?Have you had problems installing your rims with the stock studs?Thanx

    Hmm, maybe a bit short.
    You may have to use something like these : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 0159986995

    The Mutekis have already a conic shape for aftermarket wheels but i would know if the stock wagon studs are enough long also with aftermarket wheels

    i was told by a wheel manufacture never install steel wheel lug nuts on any alloy wheels.

    they have different shapes and can ruin the alloy wheels.

    if those are actual magnesium wheel(awesome/very light/soft) be careful the steel wheel lug nut will eventually screw right though them.

    muteki are open-ended so it will be fine, just hand do everything-instead of using an impact gun.

    my 2cents.

    The rule in my country is the wheel nuts must have 7 complete turns onto the stud to be safe/legal.
