Deez NUTS!

1" wheel spacers just arrived!
I removed my wheel lug nuts with a 11/16 socket. However, the new wheel spacer lug nuts take a 3/4 socket. I'm wondering if my wheel lug nuts are correct (too small)? If anyone has the same rims... what wheel lug nuts do you have?

Standard 1/2-20 nuts are 3/4" hex. Your aftermarket bullet ended wheel lugs are obviously different on the external hex but the threads are still 12-20. Use the provided nuts for bolting the spacers to the axle and your old lug nuts to bolt the wheels to the spacers and you'll be fine. You need to be sure that the axle studs do not protrude beyond the flat wheel mating surface on the spacer.

thanks for the info Jeff.
I'm looking online for replacement wheel lugnuts (current ones are rusted) and can't find the exact ones (11/16 OD). I did find these but they are 1/2 (seems small). Maybe I'm overthinking this?

The 1/2" refers to the stud size, not the hex. They would be correct for your car and should have a 3/4" hex head.

A 13/16 socket is required for those new lug nuts at American Muscle.

My experience is that the most common 1/2-20 wrench size is 3/4. I have also used ones that are 13/16 but haven't seen 11/16. Many years ago I realized I had some 3/4 and some 13/16s. I decided to go w/ 13/16, so ordered more and threw out the 3/4. Those in your American Muscle link, will be fine. Just be sure you only have one size on your car and have a socket to match in your trunk tool box.

You should also check the length of the spacer wheel stud and the depth of the acorn lug nut to make sure the lug nut sufficiently tightens against the wheel. Don't ask me how I learned this valuable piece of information.
