I emailed Year One:
"I have recently purchased the Pontiac Rallye 2 17x9 aluminum wheels and I am concerned about the thread engagement of the lug nuts. It seems the wheel is thicker than a standard steel wheel and the thread engagement is much less. Do you know what the corrective action for this is? Do I need to purchase longer wheel studs or extended tip (ET) lug nuts? I was wondering if this issue was encountereed during product development and how it was addressed."
and this is what they said:
"The thread engagement depends on the length of the existing lug studs. When people find less than minimum thread engagement we recommend extended shank lug nuts as this is easier than locating and installing longer stock type studs. We do not usually recommend racing type long studs as they are too long to use with capped lug nuts and require open ended nuts."
So I ordered a set of ET lugs from Summit. I'll let you know if they fit or not.
