ARP makes a nice set, are you using the stock style lug nut (acorn) or shank style? Front or rear and what axles if rear? ARP #100-7708 is the 12mm X 1.5. I can do $14.99 per pack of 5 plus shipping if your interested.

On that note, for what it's worth, you don't have to run a open ended acorn nut for street wheels either. The pic below is BaddAss93TA 's car. I put a 12 bolt in with 3" studs in the back. Found these long aluminum head lug nuts at autozone and they worked perfectly.

Just in case you thought you had to give up your street wheels for the longer studs.

Which Weld wheels? Running spacers in the front? Here's a recent discussion on studs for the Pro-Stars w/ 5/16" spacer in front.

Be careful w/ the closed end extra long lug nuts. I have 3" X 1/2"-20 studs on my 12-bolt, and the ZR1/GS street wheels. I got a set of the extra long closed end lugs, and the stud bottomed out on the closed end of the lug nut before reaching the recommended torque on the wheels. I drilled the closed end and then ran a 1/2" tap through the entire length of the nut, exiting through the bored hole in the cap. Actually ended up looking OK with the end of the stud just about even with the end of the lug.

Point is, make sure you get lugs that are long enough.... i.e. ask Sean for the part number.

I thought the RT-S used a conical lug?

According to Weld they do.

"- Requires conical lugs"

Odd. Mine came with shanks/washers.

my RTS's came with conical open end lugs and I just picked up a set of ARP 3" studs (#ARP-100-7713)
