Lug Nuts Or Covers For New Wheels

[JimiMc]

Hello. I hope someone can help. It seems no matter where I ask about either lug nuts, or lug nut caps, I get the same questions. (What is your VIN? What is the VIN of the truck your wheels came off of?) Am I one of the few left that doesn't need a manual to do my thinking? I think not. That's why I'm asking here.

 

I have a 2001 GMC Sierra that came from the factory with 16x7 machined 5077 wheels.

 

I recently bought factory 20x8.5 5306 wheels and installed them with new tires. (Stock photos attached.)

 

My issue that I'm having is, my old lug nuts were under a wheel cap. I am only using the old lug nuts because I can't find which new ones I should use. The old ones fit securely. I have mic'd the lug holes and they are identical wheel to wheel. But the old lug nuts are exposed. I understand there are black plastic caps that I can use to pretty things up. What exactly do I need? The lug nuts require a 22mm socket. But the caps I'm finding online are mainly 17mm and 19mm.

 

Can anyone send me in the right direction?

 

Thanks,

Jimi

I installed wheel locks since those wheels cost 1000 bucks. Cheap and look great. I have McGard 84620 for my wheels.

Thanks for the advice. McGard makes good stuff. I'll check it out.
