Re: Lug nuts for slots

Can you post a pic? different brands may vary. The acorn nut type will have a taper like a regular lug nut. The sleeve type has a larger hole with no taper and usually a machined spot for the flat washer.

Re: Lug nuts for slots

These are the sleeve type that need washers. But they have alot of sleeved lug nuts available, and I need to get the right size shank. I mesured it and it came to 23/32"...so maybe its 3/4" and I just measured too close?

Re: Lug nuts for slots

Does anyone have a part number for what lugnuts to use to put the slots on my 68 GMC 3/4ton 4x4? An exact, correct p/n would work really good.
