Lug Nuts (specialized)

Post by Bob Pl »

Spent way too much time looking for some yesterday. Maybe someone here can help.

GM lugs

12mm x 1.5 60 deg. cone open end

PLUS

these have an extra threaded "sleeve" or "shank" that is on the inside (wheel side) of the lug nut. It's thin wall and disappears into the wheel holes (and like I said threaded)

I saw some that were closed end (acorn) but I want open

jegs/summit/speedway do NOT have.

Thanks. No I don't want to pull all 4 bearings to put longer arp lugs on.

You can buy them here, or Google the Gorilla part number.

I will have to measure the hole, but that does look like it. I don't want to drill out the rims as I've got 4 sets.

I was hoping to find these minus the chrome ($25 bucks or so vs $160)

The chrome shininess will go away with time and use. Buy 20 here for $15 + shipping:

The hole I have is about 7/16" or about 11mm

the lug says .62 inch so say about 5/8" so these are not going to work, but the style/concept is what I need.

Thanks.

Anyone else?

Are you sure Bob???

I have an M12-1.5 stud on my desk right now and I measure the width of the stud itself at 15/32nds or slightly larger than 7/16th. And that doesn't account for the wall of the shank. Would seem like .62 is real real close. Measure again. Or do more googling.

Hole is NOW 15 mm.

You are right. I can't read this new caliper. The spacer I have is .5 inch hole (just under 13mm) , but I don't think the shank will go in that far, if it does I can countersink the spacer holes.

These should work.
