Default Lug Nuts

I put a new 9" in the car, but the threads aren't stock, i believe they are 1/2"?

I have gorilla ones now, but I can't find the 1/2", with the Acorn style, which is the right style correct?

help!

thanks!

1/2" Acorn, should be a VERY popular lug nut, virtually every singe GM car for the 80" and older . . .

i just put my rotors on the rear, and there is still about 55mm (tad over 2") of thread still showing, going off my stock lug nuts, these wont be long enough.

Will the 1/2" lug nuts be longer? Its pretty fine thread, so I'm assuming its 1/2"?

The 1/2" lug nuts will not be any longer for stock rims. The studs are longer for thread engagment for SST lugs or if you space the rims. A regular 1/2" thread acorn will work fine. That's what I used whenever I had the stockers on, just forget about any center caps or lug caps.

are the ones that I have now, and I was just going to reorder those but for the 1/2"

but wouldn't the longer stud make these impossible to work? Do I need open ended ones?
