LUGNUT SIZE FOR NEW WHEEL

[west chevy hd]

I JUST GOT MY AMERICAN EAGLE WHEELS AND 285 BFG'S AND IM GETTING THEM MOUNTED AND BALANCED. I WAS GOING TO GO BUY SOME NEW CROME LUGNUTS AND I TOOK ONE OFF MY TRUCK TO MAKE SURE I HAD THE RIGHT SIZE. AFTER I TOOK ONE OFF I NOTICED A LOT OF THE LUG WAS THREADED THROUGH THE NUT.

 

MY QUESTION IS DO I HAVE TO GO BUY SPECIAL LONGER LUGNUTS SO THAT THEY WILL TIGHTEN ALL THE WAY DOWN OR WILL MY NEW WHEEL BE THICKER SO THAT A NORMAL SIZE NUT WILL FIT?

If I'm not mistaken, it's a 14x1.5" long lug nut for most aftermarket rims that fit GM models. I believe the 14 is a metric measurement (14mm). Acorn style lug nut. Your local parts store should know exactly what size you need. Chris
