Greentings Alfisti,
I have done my due diligence and researched this topic and perhaps I simply missed something or am over-thinking this one.
S3 Spider Veloce
currently running (and for several years) Panasport 15in alloys
I switched my wheels over directly from the OE 14in five spoke style wheels. The Panasport wheels were a CL find from a fellow alfisti and were a plug and play with some fresh rubber installed.
Admittedly, I haven't done much with my wheels (with my own hands) during my ownership. However, one thing I noticed was that the Panasport wheels/nuts came with a specific "long and deep" socket for removal and installation. After some internet "research" looking at Spiders with Panasport wheels, it seems that most have a more "traditional" nut installed. Not wishing to go over-board with this, but my preference is to keep things simple and standard when possible is all.
My question is what specific nut do I need? Is this a simple plug and play situation for me? I did not touch the stock wheel studs and they are original. I do know that most of the supply houses offer lug nuts and studs, but do not know whether any will work (simply) with my set up.
Sorry that I am not providing more information (width and offset) for my Panasport wheels. I am sure that I can do so if required for the best answer.
Appreciate your kind assistance in advance.
David
