lug nuts, really stupid question

[Paul_]

what kind of lugnuts do we run, conical seat, or shank?

[DuceAnAHalf]

i believe they are conical seat, the shanbk style would be the long ones

[Paul_]

Conical

[Grand Marquis GT]

Shank ones are for wheels with thick center sections...

Like aluminum wheels...

[boXman]

Dude, how many boxes you have? You couldn't look? :drug:

[Paul_]

[boXman]

Ohh, I see now.

Shank:

[Paul_]

thanks for explaining the differences.

If you are installing steel wheels use you can use either of these.



However if you are going with turbins or any aluminum wheels, you will have to get the acorn nuts on the right.

I don't have acorn nuts on my turbines, never have.

I don't have acorn nuts on my turbines, never have.

None of the factory ones do.

[Blaze86Vic]

The regular lug nuts are too short to work on the turbines. I had to get the acorns for mine to bolt up.

[grandpaslincoln]

I had the regular lug nuts on my turbines had no problem taking them off. Then I got the nice chrome acorn units

Shank: a.k.a.: Pieces of Shit


or these: I run a set of these on my black steelies in the winter. Got 'em from my '86 F-150. They were a bit rusty so I threw some black paint on 'em.
