Lug Nut Issue w/ Vossen - Need Opinions

[Agswin]

So, I spent weeks on here making sure I got the correct lug nuts for my Vossen wheels (Vossen lugs were out of stock), and I ended up with what I thought was the correct ones - 14MM x 1.5, tuner style McGard brand with 22mm hex size and length of 1.635 inches. Turns out that the 22mm hex size was too wide for the Vossen wheels, so their wrench would not fit inside the holes to turn them without damaging wheel. I ended up buying a $65 set of Bimecc from discount and here they are installed.

They do stick out a tad more than I would want, but don't really have anything to compare the to, what does everyone think? Try and find shorter ones or just keep them?

I am returning the McGard to Summit Racing and the only option McGard offers in the correct width is 1.945 inches long, so I assume they are very similar if not the same size as the discount tire ones and will stick out the same distance. The ones I bought and the ones I need are below for reference.

Cool wheels.

Cant notice at all from far away but up close they look way too long to me. I had a bitch of a time finding good lugs for my aftermarket wheels as well...

These are how far my lugs protrude. I don't run center caps.

I think these are lugs I found from NAPA. Not that the length matters on different wheels, but I think mine are 2" long.

I bought a set of Gorilla lug nuts off Amazon, and they look to fit well. Obviously, wheels aren't on vehicle yet, so they might stick out just tad bit more.

My, what big nuts you have @Agswin

And, I do like this wheel with your Shelter Green Braptor

sorry man, I’ve got nothing to add regarding a solution that you aren’t already aware of. I would use what you have until Vossen can provide the proper length…
