Question Lug nuts for ES300 - IS 5 spoke rims

I just bought the 1st gen 5 spoke IS300 RIMS for my car. The current lug nuts are too long as it makes it protude about 1/2 inch patch the rim.

Does anyone know what length I should get or where I could buy some online?

Thanks,

Ken

u gotta buy the oem is300 lugnuts. Aftermarket lugs will not work. They're pretty expensive at the dealership. Last time i checked, it was $10 per lug. You're better off finding them at a junk yard or tire shop.

Yeah I got the tires on rims last night but haven't gotten the lugs yet so their currently sitting in my garage

Found a guy with an old tire machine and balancer in his garage so he did it for $40 as oppose to a retail chain at $80.

I've called AutoZone, Discount Auto Parts, National Tire & Battery, Sullivan's tires and a local tire shop close to my house. Everyone said to call the Lexus dealership.

Dealership wants big $$$

EBAY HERE I COME!!!
