Just a question,
I just bought BA XR6 mags with a e-series off-set, however.. the lug nuts i bought were too short. Getting some tommorow.. but i'm gathering the nuts just were'nt long enough. Because everything fit perfectly, but the wheel had room to wiggle.. which means the nuts were'nt long enough? Just looking for re-assurance to be honest lol Thanks :

I'm pretty sure that you need long nuts as these were what I had fitted to my EF when I put BA rims on. They were about double the length of the std ones. You sould be fine with the longer ones......rest assured!

Very nice look! I love the white and although I don't really like that mag it looks good on that car! I'm guessing you got the right nuts then!

Look good on the car but if they have movement it is a sign the nut is too short from the crown to the hub and the stud has travelled fully inside the nut or they are to long in which case the end of the nut is hard up to the hub and not seating on the champher on the rim.........
