Default Universal drag wheel question

Any of you have them and to your lug nuts look like mine? There is some sort of spacer/washer deal that came with them. Are they safe to use? Seems kind of a ghetto fix to hold the wheels snug to the lugs.

15x8" Race Stars with 26" Nittos

Also would you torque these the same as street tires?

Those are mag shank lug nuts. They are used on racing wheels like welds or billet specialties. They are not ghetto, they are better then street lug nuts.

110% Correct.

Theyre stronger that regular lugs.
