Does anyone know offhand, the proper Lugnut for an aftermarket mag-type wheel on an 88TC.

I know the stockers won't work, and I'm sure I need the closed-end ones, but I'm not sure of the length or thread pitch.

If it helps, the wheels are American Racing Rebel chrome, 17x9... And again, going on an 88 Turbocoupe.

Anyone got some numbers?

If you can fit a regular sized 13/16" socket in the wheel than you can go with either a Gorilla lug nut # 71188 or a McGard lug nut #64000 (pack of 4).

Wheel stud size is 1/2"-20

You can use your stock lug nuts to get you by but you are going to be one short on each wheel since these wheels are 5-lug. [Image: smile.gif]

Thanks for the numbers, and thanks for the props on the sig link... [Image: biggrin.gif]

And it wouldn't be a problem at all to use the stockers, seeing as I managed to snag a 4-lug set. *insert evil laugh here*

I'll have pix in about two weeks, when the tires come in, and the wheels go on.
Figure it's about time to have SOMETHING of mine in the showroom... [Image: biggrin.gif]
