I am going to run my Cuda and want to swap the stock wheel studs and lug nuts out (I'm using stock type rallye wheels and axles) I'd prefer lug nuts that looks more like the stock ones (of course the open end is ok). Thanks

They are stock tapered lug nuts.

You dont have much of a choice but you can buy
open end ones that dont have the tin sleeve
on them I hate those tin covers.. Summit has
steel lugs with open ends if you want

There are also guys on Ebay selling tapered nuts with open ends. Some use a metric-sized hex (17mm) for tight clearances.

If you want nice lug nuts get the Gorilla ones thru Summit etc. They are double the price of many of the others, but are warrantied against flaking, and the threads are cut better so they go on tighter and are more likely to stay tight.

Second vote for the Gorilla brand.


It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose…
