Title: Lug nuts
Post by: mitch sonsteng on February 17, 2011, 08:50:01 pm

Does anyone know where I can get longer acorn style lug nuts for my 1/2 4x4 chevy? It's 7/16 thread size, I was given lug nuts that were longer than normal and I really liked them and was going to put them on my truck, but come to find out they were for a 3/4 ton 4x4. I never really thought about the thread sizes being diffrent. Thanks

Look for "Duplex Acorn" lugs. In the appropriate thread size.. The Duplex is the longer style.

Like these?

You have different length in the duplex acorn style and if i am not mistaken the regular duplex is 7/8" long but there is an duplex XL that is over an inch long. I purchased mine through amazon.com they had the best deal on the gorillas stainless steel. never liked the chrome cause when you first put them on it chips the chrome off the corners and the start rusting instantly.
