Which lugnuts?

[AdamantiumKnot]

Hey peoplesiz,

I just bought these wheels off of this car. I have no clue what kind of lugnuts to get. The seller told me i should get the gorilla tuner ones because the sockets/holes are relatively narrower than the stock mustang wheels. i just have no clue what size. or if i want to go with chrome or black. any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks! got a great deal on them and they're not the typical saleen/cobra/bullit/fr500's. 18x8.5 @ 24 lbs. i'm probably going to run 245/40/18's on them because i don't want my spedometer to be off and i told myself if i replaced anything, i'd cut weight.

nice rims. I would go up to a discounttire. They usually have the sizes in stock or can get them from another store quickly. I wouldnt rely on lug nuts for theft though. Its only about a 30 second delay for anybody that wants your rims and knows what they are doing.

That is a clean mustang with an actual nice looking brake upgrade

i don't know if i have a discount tire place anywhere local. as for locking lugnuts, i know they don't really make much of a difference, but if i can get a kit with them, i figure i may as well.

i have the mach 1 brake kit on mine, may paint the calipers black. they're that dark grey color right now.

so noone knows the sizes?

They are 1/2" and you can buy them from pretty much anywhere online. American muscle has a decent selection http://search.americanmuscle.com/?page=1&query=lugs nuts&spellcheck=y&refine=y&Category=Accessories

I would go with these especially since you say they are narrow. Don't have to worry about dinging the inside with a lug wrench.

I have these from Discount Tire. Looks like you have to call to order. 1/2-20 is the correct size.

They have a spline drive and come with a socket that fits them. Go in small wheel holes and are very durable.

says these are tuner locking and in 1/2-20. would they work?

on my stock wheels?

no, the one's you posted proly have a conical seat

 

[AdamantiumKnot]

oh, they do, is that what i need?

that's what im guessing. My stock wheels had a flat surface lug nut, but it also had caps that covered the studs. Most aftermarket wheels have a conical seat - thats proly what you need

Those style lugs above is what you want. The fittings come with alan or torque (star bit). They also have the lugs with splines on the outside in which the key fits over the lug, not in it. Either lugs will work.
