conversion lug nuts, lug nut covers

Searh eBay with those two searches...you will find lots. I have 88+ centers and lug covers...and of course the lug nuts too...all off eBay.

I am going to guess 1/2". Can't you go measure them, or run a couple nuts on them to find out?

9/16 thread. Do an ebay search for "dual thread lugnuts". About a buck apiece.

Re: late model wheels and center caps need lug nuts

Tx Firefighter is right for the 3/4-ton.

If you want stock type lug nuts with plastic covers.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DUAL-...Q5fAccessories

I don't care for the plastic covers so I personally would get 60 degree conical seat 9/16 chrome lug nuts instead for just a few more bucks.

If you want chrome lug nuts and locks:

For a little more you can get all 32 as wheel locks:

If you could care less about the finish you can run zinc plated open end lugs:
