Ok here is whats going on.. I am curently trying to put my Volk GT-Cs on my kouki..

specs are 19x9.5 +9 front and 19x10.5 -11 rear

I have already installed my extended studs.. I couldnt find any lug nuts that fit the GT-C model, so i purchased some of the original lug nuts that come with the wheel.

the problem is that the Gt-C lug nuts dont thread all the way in. Half way into the thread the key hits the stud and does not let me thread in anymore. i tried putting a 5mm spacer on and the lug nuts are still too short.. I dont want to put any spacers at all. I am trying to fit them on stock body. My question is, is there any other set of lug nuts that fit GT-Cs?? maybe some extended lugnuts?

here is a pic of the ones i have now.. they are too short!!!!

I have searched and i have also asked some members on here that are Running GT-Cs... all i get is that they are still using the nuts that come with the wheels..

you need open ended or long shank lug nuts, or use stock sized studs.

Why did you install extended studs? Is it a pre-requisite for the wheels or something?

I'm not a wheel whore by any means, but I do have spidey sense!

There's a muteki deal going on right now. Get some open ended ones. Seriously tho why the hell did you put on extended studs? Doesn't make sense.

Thats basically your only option, unless you put the stock studs back in.

Edit: OR go super baller and get the rays open ended lugs :D

Yup, Muteki makes open end short and extended lug nuts.
McGard also makes some open end short ones i think.

Muteki Nuts do not fit my rims... they are too wide and dont fit in the whole for the lug nut. I need extended studs because without them my lug nut doesnt even touch my oem stud.. it touches a bit in the front but not enough to thread it in...

Why did you put extended studs on the car, you only need those if your running spacers, correct me if i am wrong...

Volk open ended?

Or call them and get their take on what to use.

If you could read, he just said why.

I forgot about those. They aren't cheap, but the rays dura-whatever they are will work. Wont be cheap tho, iirc $200. Sounds a bit high tho.
