Need help with lug nuts

alright, so I picked up some real cobra r rims. 17x9 and they came off a 1997 mustang. But these came on a 1993 cobra looks like. Anywho, these will fit a 94 gt. My question is, what kind of lug nuts should I get? I'm not sure what kind of spacing I have. I'd like to know what my options are for the nuts.or will any fit? I need locking ones

most any lug nuts should fit. I would think chrome would not look to good in there tho. If you have an autozone near by take the rim there and see what works.

Standard seated acorn bulge lug will work.

Gorilla lugs are the best IMO. They are their own lock. Basically their key fits over the entire lug not just the tip like old locking lugs. I don't recommend using one of those old locking lugs with a key that fits into a cutout on the top, those can break and have broken on me while doing a brake job. The lug actually cracked and the inside of the key crumbled to pieces which then required getting it off from a shop. $10 a lug...
Check them out here, I get mine from CJPony parts:

Just make sure the lugs you get a socket will fit the outside diameter of the lug hole for your new lugs.As mentioned the Gorilla lug nuts work great and the locking lug socket will very tight lug holes.
