Since I needed new axles/hubs for my disc brake conversion, I had them drilled with both a 5x120 for use now and a 5x4.75 in case I change wheels in the future. I have also the proper sized hubcentric rings to center the wheels on the hub.

I'll be using 12x1.5mm studs and I need help choosing what type of lug nuts I need for my BBS RS-GT wheels. From my research, I've read that conical lug nuts are recommended for these wheels.

The only problem is I've found both 45deg conical and 60deg conical lugs, and I don't know which one I need. Any help is appreciated by those in the know.

Thanks,
Kerry

Just in case anyone else needs to know, I called BBS today and found out 60 degree conical is what they say to use with there wheels.

Yup that's what I'm using on mine. I actually like using stock take-off lugnuts from ebay, they're not fancy, but they're zinc-plated, high-quality, and really cheap.

Yes, 60 degree conical is correct for a BBS wheel.
