If you are running those rims on the original 10MM studs (1989-1994 Hatchback/Sedan) you need to make sure those gorilla nuts are going to seat the new rim properly. Upgrading to 13" with Metro 13" wheels is safe with the new nuts, but unless I can actually see and feel how they work on other rims, I can't tell you. You do not want a wheel flying off on your car just for some nice looking rims! If you want to be safe, I suggest going to a junkyard and finding a vert or 1995-2000 Metro and steal the rear drums and front spindle/bearing/brake/lugnut assemblies. |

What JM said. I just went the route of putting 12mm studs all the way around on my '92 cause the alloy wheels were thicker and I didn't feel there was enough threads grabbing on the 10 mm's using the Gorilla bulge nuts.. 12 mm studs more meaty and if you get the ABS studs...longer too vs standard rear 12's. |

Thanks guys, probably not enough info the accord wheels are factory steel with studded snow tires on them. I plan on upgrading the hubs soon. I have the front hubs off a 96 but still need the calipers and rear drums, just need time to get to the u-pullit and put the parts on, thanks again |
