    Yeah, you should not use the factory lugs with aftermarket wheels. They won't seat properly in the lug bore. If you need some ET lugs, we have them available on our website, but most wheel/tire shops should have what you need.

    I hope it wasn't a shop that let you drive off like that.

    Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah unfortunately I didn't know any better, neither shop that I've taken it to all these years ever mentioned it being a problem. I've been running them like this since I got them 5 years ago. Do they look pretty bad? At least now I know.

    It's not bad that it's deemed unsafe, but it isn't pretty. Just get some proper lugs for them to be on the safe side.
