175/70R13's, from a said 1987 Honda Civic, fitted with studded tires.....free. Thoughts? Opinions? Death threats?

Center hub bore might not be big enough. Also Honda uses spherical seated lug nuts, not the best idea to run with justy conical lug seats.

Yeah. It is possible to switch out the studs to a more common thread pitch. Then you can get spherical and conical lug nuts. You'll have the same problem running VW or BMW wheels

Switching out the studs, eh...I wonder much trouble that would be

Not too much trouble at all, it seems! The studs are cheap as well as the nuts; I'm lookin' forward to it!!

Yep, it's really not bad and the benefits are well worth the effort.

Ah, what a nice surprise is this common, guys?? I don't think I remember this going on with my '91..and on the driver's side, all four are the hollow nuts....makes me think everything's been compromised

Hercules....I think , if I remember correctly that is another name for Kumho (Korean Tires) Which are a good tire in my opinion!
Also those 3 open lug nuts are the ones off of the Nissan Pulsar I was talking about. I would gladly trade you for them if we lived anywhere near each other.

Alright, so they're the right type, just a different brand/style?
I'm in Eugene, OR..
And Kumho isn't bad at all
