Tuner Lug Nut Key Tool Installation
The tuner lug nut key is a very durable tool that will last the life time of your lug nuts if used as per instructions. Regular lug nuts have a wide HEX that can take a lot of punishment from impact wrenches, not so with tuner lug nuts. Tuner lug nuts both the spline socket style and the open hex styles have small ridges where the tool slides in to install and uninstall the lug nut. If not installed properly by hand using recommended torque the key might damage.
Use recommended tips below and your key will last a long time and will be in good condition, you would not want to get a flat in the middle of no where and you come to find out your tire shop stripped your key by using an impact wrench the last time you were in for service.
- Start nuts by hand using the key and secure in a criss-cross sequence.
- Using key, tighten lugs with a torque wrench. (Refer to your owners manual for proper torque specifications.)
- Do Not Use an Impact wrench on tuner lug nuts.

Hub Centric Rings
Is your wheel vibrating over a certain speed? Your problem could be as simple as installing a set of hub centric rings, especially if you have just installed a set of aftermarket wheels. Factory stock wheels made specific to your car do not have this problem. Vibration only occur when you are installing aftermarket wheels or stock wheels from a different model or year.
Steering wheel vibrations are most felt once your vehicle goes over the 30 mph mark. While a vibrating steering wheel could also be caused by different reasons (ex: bent wheels, steering problem). If you have recently installed a different set of wheels, it could be that your new wheels are not hub centric to your hub. In this case you would use a hub centric ring to fill in the gap between the wheel center bore and your vehicle’s hub that will eliminate any vibrations. In the market today you have a choice of metal and poly carbon hub rings. We strongly recommend poly carbon hub rings since they don’t rust or corrode like their metal counterparts.
How to choose the right hub centric ring:
1) Determine your wheel center bore size = Outer Diameter measurement.
2) Determine your vehicle’s hub size = Inner Diameter measurement.
3) Outer Diameter and Inner Diameter gives you the right hub ring.
