Those wheels have been a mixed bag regarding which lug to use.

If they are new in box, check the lit with them. If not, snap a picture of the lug area and call cragar. Having the right and left deal might pose an issue as well.

You have to pay attention to the shank size - diameter & depth.
Different "mag" wheels require different shank sizes, and nothing's better than measuring yours.

Older Cragars have shank lug nuts, newer ones use typical conical lug nuts, so what was said above, take a picture of them and post it here... wave

No one can answer this question.

If it's stock 68 brakes or later disc brake swap will matter.

Until you have the car and can verify wheel stud bolt circle and diameter you will be guessing. Remember, stock is has 10 left hand thread studs and 10 right hand thread studs and finding proper LHT nuts can be tough.

IIRC, stock is has 7/16 studs.

Cragar #1521913402B has a conical seat and a '68 A-body will need a 7/16"-20 conical lug nuts, LH and RH.

According to Cragar, it needs "Mag lugs nuts with Cragar washers"

He clearly mentioned 5x4 pattern. So later brakes are not in the equation.

Just a guess, the wheels won't likely require that uni-lug nonsense other wheels have as they are drilled single pattern.

Someone on another site just had issues with the suggested lug and what was actually needed on a cragar wheel purchase. There are a couple different series of these S/S wheels in production.

He doesn't have the car, until he does and can verify no one's been playing with the brakes, who knows? Too many people will put the stock brakes off a 74 A body onto a 68 A body and still think it's "stock". Trust but verify, lol.

Which differs from https://www.summitracing.com/parts/crr-61c5854

Should be obvious to OP which STYLE is needed. shruggy

Considering 99% of the posters here use lower case in posts, including you, it would seem to be a generally accepted standard. shruggy

Correct. Unless if someone has changed the left side of the car to right hand studs sometime in the past.

What lug nuts did you end up using for your Cragar application? I also have a 68 Barracuda with stock RH/LH studs and are going to use the same part number Cragar you reference.

Thanks !!
