Can someone tell me what the actual size of the stock studs for the lugnuts are. the size and thread pitch etc. I am looking at some aftermarket color freindly lug nuts. Thanks for any info
these are the specs of the lug etc.

Gorilla lug nuts, Standard Mag, Open End, 4PK, 12mm x 1.5

 

Wow your kidding right, all the people here and no one knows wether this lug nut will work or what the stud size and thread are, thanks again for any info. Any dealers know this info

 

The wheel stud is a 1/2 X 20

Your pic is for a GM car.

I like McGard and Spline Drive line. Aside from the colored cap, it is also light wieght and the seat will not gull the wheel as it is a 2 piece lug nut.

Scroll down to the Cone Seat Spline Drive

 

so would the correct part # be 65530 with either rc for red cap or rr for red ring. Does anyone have any opinions on which would look better, just the red ring on top or a red cap for the top of the lug? Any input would be helpful. I think I like the rc best, but not sure without looking at them in person. I do like these, I am just not sure If I want the whole lug to be red, or just the top of it? This is the question. Thanks for the link. They look cool.

 

well i wrote mcgard an email about those lug nuts you suggested, this is what I got in response, oh by the way are you using these lugs redbullet:

Kit #65530RC cannot be used on your vehicle. The splinedrive lug nuts in this kit are too short and will bottom out on your studs causing them all to crack. You may wish to try contacting Summit Racing for further assistance at: 800.230.3030. Perhaps they may be able to offer you a competitors product that may be longer enough to accommodate the full length of the wheel stud on this vehicle.

Well, I won't tell them that I am using them on my CTR wheels

 

so in your opinion red bullet will this work on the mustang 18" polished factory rims. Thanks for your opinion, just dont want to mess anything up. Thanks for the info

 

redbullet are you using these on an 05+ mustang. Still trying to figure out if they would work. By what you said I was thinking maybe there wrong. So can you let me know if your using these on a new mustang?

 

On an '05 but I am not using a factory wheel.

 

but factory stud. I doubt the wheel is going to make the difference, I think he was saying the lug was too short for the stud and it would crack when tightened down. I dont think he knows what hes talking about, but i may give them a try here soon. Unless your wheel has a deeper hole than stock , thats the only thing I can think of that could make these not work. thanks for the info.
