Where to buy the Chrome Lug Nuts?

[BamaTJ]

Hey guys I have just the regular lug nuts that show the studs on my current wheels and I would like to get the chrome variety that have ends on them. I know I need a different lug nut for front axle and the back but where would I buy them?

I've never ordered from him, but have bought a ton off his table at swapmeets.

I had my local tire store order me some for my CJ........that I used to have......that I sold..............that I cried about. dunno

 

[wngrog]

Pep Boys...Vatozone....any parts house has them.

So a local tire shop or an offroad shop could get these for me.

I think yours are dealer only items though

I need to get them locally becuase the new wheels will be here this weekend

If you have open ended lug nuts I will trade you my full set of chrome's for them ( must run open ended lug nuts in XRRA.... )

I had to tell mine what size I needed but yep they had them the next day.

I'm 99% sure that even Advance can get them for you if they don't have them in the store already.....my tire dealer was cheaper though.

Yeah I have the open ended lugs, problem is I have two different stud threads and all yours are the same I believe. My front is 1/2" and the rear is 9/16"

Mine are 9/16" front and rear. I got all of my lug nuts from Walmart. They sell the same brand that you get at the parts store excpet for almost half the price. ;D

 

[BamaTJ]

Did you put bigger studs up front or do you have a later model Ford 60?

 

[BamaTJ]

Bailey stocks them for cheap so he has got me covered

 

[blacksheep10]

or get em from paul
like he said, xrra makes you run open ended. must be a good idea if they said so

 

[InDaShop]

most santioned race bodies require open ended lugnuts. So when you tech they can confirm the amount of thread you have locked up.

I will need to replace all mine with longer studs too.... just another thang on the gotta get done list

I would if he had 1/2 and 9/16 studs. All of his are 9/16 with the Chevy 60/14b. I need 16 of each since mine are different front to back.

and dont forget a couple spares for the at home. You wont need those on the trail, but why waste gas making another run when you lose one or two.

When I got my studs from Advance, they gave me 9/16" studs and 1/2" studs. I wanted 9/16" studs to match the rear so I got them to order the rest that I needed in 9/16". I guess you can fit both (since I did) and since they sell them in both sizes for our axle.

I'm pretty sure late model Fords are 14mm RHT? And Chevys are 9/16 RHT.
