Quick question - Sportivo wheels ball seat

[handsome]

As for the stock wheels, it has been confirmed that the Sportivo Wheels share the same stud pattern and offset as the other models. If anyone with one of these Corollas wants to use a set of Sportivo wheels, they will have no problems with fitment or clearance, but you will need the Sportivo Lug nuts to bolt the Sportivo Wheels on.

^that passage is from the sportivo FAQ.

Just wondering why I can't use stock lug nuts from levin 15" alloys on the stock sportivo wheels? I was under the impression they use the same ball seating (as do all stock toyota wheels)

If anyone can clarify would be sweet!

If its also a ball seat then its fine to use. afaik some honda oem wheels use the same type of seat aswell if thats any help

I was under the impression they use the same ball seating (as do all stock toyota wheels)

This statement is not true mate. Toyotas have also used, and still use flat washer types to this day.

Oh sorry by ball seat i meant the lug nut seating lol oops.

Thanks for that bud

But yes the levin and sportivo wheels both use the flat seat. Maybe that FAQ thread needs a bit of editing
