SS wheel lug nuts
 

Need some help..looking for lug nuts for my SS wheels. If I remember there is one with a wider seat? GM? my holes are a little sloppy [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] I had a good set but they have been lost. 7/16-20, cone seat, factory appearing or other suggestions. Thanks!

Albert, back in 2003 I ordered a set of these from this place. Hope this is what you are looking for.

In-line tube makes a 1pc. solid chrome,(not a capped stainless steel),acorn lug nut that is wider and meets the lower seat width overall of Dons example.It's great for enlarged holed wheels.It has a slightly different profile,meaning no nipple in the top center,compared to the GM 2nd design lug nut.But it does have a shorted hex &amp; a taller crown,like the originals did.Just too exaggerated.
They sell a set of 20 for like $45 shipped on ebay.

...in-line tube solid 1pc.chrome lug on the right.

re; other suggestion.
I had the same oversized hole problem on my SS wheels, If you do not mind the chrome lug nuts work great, they have more surface area. I used a set from Summit on my son's wheels.
I made the pictured washers from grade 8 3/8&quot; washers in a arbor press with a long drift punch and a socket. Ran them for years and they hold the wheel torque without distorting. Hard to even see when installed.

Here is another alternative. I have been using these for a couple years now with great success.

M22Mike's idea is slick.

After reading this thread, I've been thinking of jokes about 'nuts that are to small' and 'holes that are too big'...but, none of them are clean enough for this site.
