Default ccw lug nuts?

I just installed my CCw 505a's 19x10 and 19x11 and i used my stock lug nuts. They look like they stick out quite far in the rear because of the offset. Does anyone make better lug nuts that won't stick out as far? If so let me know and post a pick. thanks mike

I use chrome lug nuts on my IForge wheels. Bought them from West Coast Corvettes. SKU 10154000. $24.95 per set-including 4 wheel locks. Great price. They are about as short as they come. I also bought the deep dish socket set (plastic covers on outside and protection on inside of socket) from Harbor Freight. $19.95-set of seven
SAE an Metric including the 19mm you'll need for Corvette lugs.

HOUSE OF WHEELS (site supporting vendor) is having a sale on GORILLA lug nuts right now...I just saw their ad in the classifieds a couple of days ago.
You can also buy the GORILLA lug nuts/locking lug nuts at DISCOUNT TIRE or SUMMIT RACING.
They're show quality chrome (or black). You can buy one lock per wheel or a system of twenty locking lug nuts with one key socket.
With CCW wheels, I'd want as much protection as possible.

Mike,

If it was a NEW order from us they were suppost to include lug nuts already. Always come in a UPS "Small" Box with four samples of Rejex's. If did and didn't get any PM or call me so I can look up your order. At any case the lug nuts will always stick out more on the rear than the front with your cars fitment. If you find shorter lugs that will tigten down on the wheel before bottoming out on the studs that may be an option just for the rears so they match. To get a larger lip on the rear you have to give up on backspacing/pad and caliper clearance which makes the pad thinner than the front making the lugs stick out futher. Never bothered me personally but your car is not mine so what you want goes!
