Advice on lug nuts sought...
hello,
just about to purchase the torq-thrusts, when I realised I didn't know the lug nuts I should be also ordering(!)
My 1956 f100 has a mustang II on the front and "late seventies car" axle on the rear.
Some places seem to say "chrome acorn lug nuts" and www.wheelsforless.com has two potential types:
“open bulge nuts” (4 sizes):<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com
fficeffice" /><o
></o>
“This is the "open-end" version of the Bulge nut, for use where a cap or portion of the wheel covers the lug nuts. In this case appearance is not a factor, and a longer nut might interfere with the cover. Has 3/4" hex.”<o></o>
<o> </o>
Or “chrome bulge nuts” (6 sizes):<o></o>
“The "bulge" lug nut takes its name from the bulge at its nose, which provides a greater seating area but still allows for the popular 3/4" hex and is 1 3/8" long. Great for wheels with tight fitting lug holes.”<o></o>
Any ideas which to get ie "open" or "chrome" and the likely size:
1/2
12mm x 1.25
12mm x 1.50
12mm x 1.75
14mm x 1.50
7/16
Cheers,
