Need quick help-what lug nuts to use with Snypers??

I just got my snypers and tires today. Everythings ready to go except for the lugnuts-I though I was told I would get them with but didnt get any. I emailed the company, but it might be awhile.

Does anyone know what lugnuts to use with the Snypers for a 3rd gen camaro? Can I get them locally and part #? Thanks

Theres nothing special about the lugnuts. You could use your stock ones if you wanted. Personally on those rims, I'd use a chrome acorn nut. Its a taper seat, cant remember the thread or angle of the seat (pretty sure thats 60 degrees though) and quite common. Any parts store should have them, and be able to sell you the right size and type.

I could use the stock ones? I'll have to try that out tomarrow. I didnt know if it was a special one or not. I'll have to check the local auto store too. Thanks so much!

The stock lugnuts do not work. It screws on, but not tightly. Any ideas??? I think im going to end up going to a autostore and just buying a few to try on.

I tried the stock, they go on alittle bit but just enough to hold it on. I dont know if this matters at all, but the wheels have a backspacing of 5", but inserts were made so it would be 4.75". I dont know if that would affect it at all???

I got ahold of the people I got the wheels from, they wouldnt really help me besides saying "use the stock lugnuts"

I see... I think spacers are your problem. 1/4" is alot. What you need is longer wheel studs, not different lug nuts.

I just checked mine, the stock lugnuts fit fine. They are 60 degree taper seat, same size and location seat as the stock lugnut.

I figured it out. I can use the stock lug nuts. I feel like a fool, but I couldnt just get them in. I had to take a plyers to get them started. After that I couldnt use a lugnut wrench as it was too tight. I had to get a socket thingie and attach it to a breaker bar and wiggle it in and out and use that. But I did get it to work, theres no play, and everything is fine.
