Open ends to faciliate longer stud, for the use of spacers and such.
Long close end ones, if you are thinking Rays long lug nuts t_dot_SiR, that is still a short one with longer end that has no thread in it.

i use antiseize on lug nuts, for sho!!
yeah, i think the closed ones are for low maintenance ppl who don't remove their wheels often, so just basically to keep the threads relatively clean.

you shouldnt use anything on your lug nuts. it will mess up the torque you put on them. but good luck with that.
oh and if you cant get your lug nuts off.. the means you put them on too tight.

ya i know rust exists .. but you should clean that off before you put the lug nuts on. oh and my info is coming from a automotive technician. and i agree with him.. i dont see a point of putting anti seize on studs.. iv actually never seen that done before. any kind of moisture will mess up the torque you put on them because water doesnt compress.

water doesn't compress, correct...but in a CLOSED container.
Whatever though, think what you want. I just hope people who want to learn anything don't believe you.
And to you really think anti-seize really affects torque that drastically? God even if the torque is off 15 ft lbs (which it wouldn't be from a little bit of anti-seize) it's not going to cause any harm.

weird, didn't know you were my mom and wanted to control what i thought....
and it is good for sliders..
are you sure you know what i''m referring to??
and i agree with janz3n
had i heard of the usage on studs before i might have contemplated it..
but i hadn't....EVER...
in my 40 or so years around cars i'd not once heard of it on wheel studs
and using the same theories janz3n has chosen to bring up, i opted to choose not to use it
but anyway, back to Chris' world and his infinite wisdom

what ever man.. 15 is alot in my eyes.. why not just torque it to 100 and leave it at that.. and if theres moisture in there its not going to be 100.
