lug nut help on late model wheels
I'm stealing 05crewcab pics to show you the wheels I picked up today and want to put on the 72 'burban. The question I have is concerning lug nuts. I think I can make a chevy cap fit by grinding the plastic tabs a bit so they sit flush, I just have to get a lug nut that is threaded on the outside to to accept the late model cap. Anyone have any pointers?
Thanks, Nik |

Re: lug nut help on late model wheels
I'm not sure what the thread size is on an 8 lug setup but I had gotten mine on Ebay.

Re: lug nut help on late model wheels
I bought mine off e-bay from a seller named lugnutking. Same as above, about same price. Just make sure you measure your studs and order the right size nuts. I had a problem looking up for mine because they listed 2 size studs for the 68 C20. Good luck. Wheels look nice.

Re: lug nut help on late model wheels
Thanks for the heads up guys. Eagleuh, those are the center caps I'm going to modify to work on the rims I bought. Hopefully a little trimming and some lug nuts will make for a decent set of shoes.

Re: lug nut help on late model wheels
O.K., I got the tires mounted on the wheels and from looking at the thickness of the rim I'm wondering if I wouldn't need some sort of a shank type lug. Has anyone else used the wheels on their truck?
