YearOne 17x9" Snowflake wheel lug nuts and lugs

[TOG1937]

If you are running YearOne 17x9" Snowflake wheels, what are you using for lug nuts or studs? The OEM Snowflake wheel lug nuts only get about 4 threads of engagement with the OEM length studs - NOT SAFE ! Need either longer studs or longer shoulder lug nuts to get sufficient thread engagement. There should be at least as much thread engagement as the diameter of the stud or bolt, in this case 7/16".
Thank you!

Are you referring to the lug nuts they sell with the wheels?
You bought the wheels new?

Possible solution found deep within the YearOne (misbehaving) website. YearOne P/N MRG1445. They have a longer shank and appear to have the correct conical surface for the 2nd Gen wheels that I have. Hope to test-fit later today if Fedex comes through.

That's a Mr. Gasket product.

I would not be surprised by that. I bet most of the parts sold by YearOne and other major outlets like Jegs, Summit and Ames Performance are manufactured by someone else. They fit and appear to work well.

Of course, that's probably the Version 2 lugnut and rim type. The original offering in 17x9 used the stock lugnuts still used by their 15x8 rims.
