lug nuts question
So I have a 1985 chevy k10 and online it says for lug nut 7/16. Some ebay items say 7/16-20 and others just 7/16. Is there a difference between the two?

Re: lug nuts question
Are your wheels steel or aluminum?

Re: lug nuts question
As long as you got the lugs for aluminum wheels, they should work fine.

Re: lug nuts question
Some of them are a little different, but you should be ok.

Thread count, with American sizes, is expressed as "threads per inch" (TPI) Pitch is the distance between threads (single start). So a bolt with 8 TPI would have threads 1/8 of an inch apart. ETA, the ones who just list the size as 7/16 assume the you know that automotive lug studs and nuts are always fine threaded. This is done for 2 reasons. First, the minor diameter (bottom of the threads) in larger because the threads are not cut as deep. This makes them stronger, with all else being equal. Second, you get more clamping force for the same amount of torque applied to the nut. Multiple start threads are completely different....and not in automotive use. They allow for more travel with fewer revolutions, at the cost of less clamping force. They are usually found on larger diameter pieces. It gives the strength of many threads but screws on quickly. More than you ever wanted to know......lol
