Exclamation Simple question, 97 ram Lug nut size?

I have a 97 ram 2wd, with the stock 16 inch chrome rims. I want to replace the lug nuts, but, I cannot seem for the life of me to find out the size I need
AND, if you know a place on the net that is reasonable priced, post me a link please! I prefer a (new) set of 20 chrome lug nuts with wheel locks.

I did a forum serach, but did not get any solid info.
Any help is appreciated!
Mike

Sometimes the internet is not all it's cracked up to be. You should drive yourself to any auto parts store and they can tell you what size you need. I got mine from oreilly's, they were about a buck and a half each.

I second all zman stated. They are 1/2x20. And the capped ones SUCK!! The caps tend to come off and then youll have a hell of a time getting the nut off. Unless your lucky.

well, so far so good, get advice here, order stuff online! Go outside and put it on my truck! pretty easy, and cheaper than putting gas in the truck

My new KYB shocks are on the way, put on my new thermostat housing(old one was cracked) and 195 t-stat today at the advice of many here, as I think it had a 160 t-stat in it. Dodge forums and it's members have helped me allot so far and I have only had my truck 3 weeks Thank you internet! lol
