lug nut replacement

[rickztahone]

seeing as a lot of people have problems with the oem nuts and me having trouble finding a few of them separately i went ahead and researched and found some that are perfect for my application. my aftermarket wheels have a smaller hole that the washers on the oem lug nuts do not fit. so i got these














here's the link to the seller i got them from. they were 51.80 including shipping.

awesome, I will probably snag a set of those. I was just planning on getting the sebring lugs. So your certain that these will also fit all sets of stock rims?

i've never had stock wheels but i'm assuming that the washer is not a necessity since some people have bought lug nuts w/out the washers and they fit. i would say yes but you can always ask the seller as well. they were real helpful

You need the flat washer style lug nuts for any stock wheels. There is no tapered seat on stock wheels for using the acorn style tapered seat lug nuts. This is an extreme safety issue.

i stand corrected. thanks for the info. so now this applies to only people w/ after-market wheels that have the tapered seat

Those look like the same exact set I have with the KMCs, wheels locks and all!

I normally wouldn't try to contradict anyone, but with this kind of issue, there is a conscience factor that has to be acted on. Thanks for understanding and being cool. I'm trying to do the same.

People that own these, how is the finish standing up after time has passed?

it's an issue with the washer i believe, at least from what the other member said. that is what makes the lugs that i put on not suitable for oem stock wheels. i believe there are some lugs from the Sebring that have the washer and will fit the LS. on the top in my post i added the two links, one of them is for the Sebring one's, check it out
