Lug nut question

[sfwjesse]

Searched the forums...couldnt find anything on this. I went to Parts Plus to get some new lug nuts...mine are all rounded off and i cant tighten them enough anymore...(thats what happens when you rebuild your whole front end over the course of 2 years and take the wheels off again and again).

They told me the nuts were 1/2"-20 thread. The box they gave me says 1/2"-20 on it. They do not go on my studs. It looks like my studs are a finer thread...maybe a 1/2"-24 ?? Does anyone know what the real thread pitch is on a 1988 B2?

Welcome sfwjesse.Don't be relying on what the box says, do a physical measurement but why bother, if they don't fit take them back for the correct ones.

they are 1/2-20

Yep, ½ x 20 is correct. Maybe your studs are due for a replacement as well.
