Default Open lug nuts for 1/2" studs

Hey everybody, I have a Dana 60 coming soon with bigger and longer wheel studs, 1/2 and I actually am not too sure how long. But I do know that i need open lug nuts. I am not sure of the conical pitch or angle and I also am looking for somewhere to pick up some quality ones. If anyway has any insight it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Gorilla lugnuts or Mcgaurd lugnuts are rather high quality if you ask me.

As for the shape or pitch the factory style wheels have 60° seats. Most aftermarket race wheels are shank style though.

I bought mine yesterday, Dorman brand. Open 13/16 hex with a large conical end bigger than the hex. Box of 10 was $19.90.
