Will I have a problem using these other lug nuts

meterman · Mar 21, 2011

I wanted to get rid of the factory lugs since they have the cap attached to the lug and are not solid. I bought these Chrome Mustang Acorn Lug Nuts from AmericanMuscle.

I was getting ready to install them and noticed that they are not as big where the lug meets the wheel and wondered if this could cause a potential problem.

My wheel lock is even bigger than these Chrome Mustang Acorn Lug Nuts.

The order in the photo the factory GT500 lug, the wheel lock and the Chrome Mustang Acorn Lug Nut. As you can see there is a BIG difference.

I'm not looking for guessing, I can do that, I hope to find someone who knows.

thanks for you help in advance.

The bottom lug nut is incorrect. If you put it over the hole in the wheel you will see that it leaves uncovered spaces. You want a "bulge" lugnut like the base of the lock. While the stock nut uses a 13/16" socket, the only ones I found with the bulge use a 3/4". That's what I use. Both McGard and Gorilla make good ones. I prefer the spline locks of the Gorilla to the "star" locks of the McGard.
