Yet another lug question...

I've done several searches but could find no direct answer to my question.

I recently purchased a set of 16" Rota Slipstreams, which I know several people have on this forum.

My question is: Will my stock lug nuts work with these rims? I have a
'05 MCS, so from what I gather I have 12mm lugs, correct?

Responses are appreciated in advance.

Stock lug bolts should be fine as long as you aren't using spacers. It should be pretty easy to find out... pull one bolt from your wheels and see if it fits. If you have spacers, you will need to get longer lug bolts.

I switched over to studs and lug nuts a year or two ago... I've forgotten the old size, but you definately have the old size and not the new ones that started shipping in mid-2006 or so.
