    From what I've read on here, I should have been given extended lugs but Discount Tire put these on when I got the install done. Just want to double check before I make a trip back there on Saturday.

    Wheels are Level 8 MK6

    Thanks

    Depends on the wheel. Most aftermarket utilize that lugnut style. Ensure your center ore for the wheel is correct or use hub spacer to center the wheel correctly

    It varies. I have those on my current set up. My last wheels to get enough grab/turns on the wheel studs I needed the extended ones. How many full turns do you get on the stud?

    Same crap everyone else got
    going by the part number listed, the ET version would be WZ56015SE yours us WZ56015SB. Not sure if that means yours aren't ET but i'd assume if they were they would say in the description where I found the part numbers like the other one does.

    Sorry, I should have put that in the original post.

    They get 6 full turns and maybe a 1/4 more after the 6th.

    Most aftermarket wheels require either longer studs or extended thread nuts. Personally, I would put ET's on it as 6 turns really isnt much

    The ET lugs have a tendency to break off at the tip and when they do, you're very fucked.
    Longer studs are a better option.

    Not disagreeing as I’ve only had one set of wheels that needed them, but I ran a set of extended gorilla lugs for years with no issues.
