so i think everyone might hate me...UPDATE: they are finally

[repinS]

Yup, they'll work. Keep in mind though, with the cheap variety you may not want to use an impact wrench to loosen them (nevermind tightening, but we all know that!). The chrome will flake very easily and leave rusty spots over time.

Maybe I should grab some fancy anodized ones instead

Get some gorrila nuts in black oxide. They hold up great and look sweet in a light colored wheel.

[Bl4z3]

you could make yourself some money and sell them to me for $200.00!

I'll even pay the Shipping!!! LOOOL!

So I'm still trying to figure out what lugs. The gorilla nut website shows lots of different lengths for 12x1.5 lugs also why did ed say

Any chrome 1/2"x20 conical seat lug will work

Which size is correct?

[MattStrike]

Measure the 'exposed length' of the threads on your lugs. That will tell you how long you need.

Lug nuts are tricky. They have metric threads, SAE socket sizes, and metric or SAE lengths. M12-1.5 should be the correct thread, 3/4" or 13/16" the socket size, and ~1.39" deep for closed end (20mm open end for use with the black or chrome caps).

On my old '89 PA, even though the chrome flaked off with the impact it did not flake off the mating surface. I did coat them with grease though, and only had the wheels off one time after putting on the new lugs. Not exactly a long-term test.

00+ has 1/2" x 20 threads. That's what I have on my car.

I don't hate you at all...


I do however have the sudden urge to kick you in the berries very hard and run away with your wheels

You take two and I'll take two! That way as long as people will look at us from one side only the car will look awesome. Already happens to me.

[sethjamesrimrodt]

My stock wheel studs are M12 1.5

Holy crap how many cranberries do you think I have?!?!?!? Oh you meant the wheels lol

OK so if our size is 12x1.5 why is ed running standard lugs I'm confused

[SSEiMan01]

Seth is correct, M12 x 1.5

That's the size of the ones on my 01, I checked the part number for an 00 too just to be sure, it's also M12 x1.5

[sethjamesrimrodt]

Well they are extremely close 1/2"=12.7 mm and 1/20"=1.27mm
So standard lugs will fit but they aren't right

[swampthing]

OK I think I have my kit picked.

These are gorilla 12x1.50 closed lugs with an overall length of 1.40 does that sound right to y'all?

[00Beast]

Hmm. I haven't had any kind of issue related to the lugs. I'll have to measure them...

[SSEiMan01]

Those look like very nice nuts!

[swampthing]

Well tomorrow I will probably order the lugs and one used tire to match my others (right now I have 3 Goodyear and one cruddy pirelli due to a blowout) and then next week hopefully we can get them mounted and installed

HA! He would be like
But I second your idea!

[swampthing]

Hey my wife might pay you to do it...

[PaulyGXP]

Wives enjoy humorous injuries to their husbands... Especially when the husband is buying things for his car lol...
