Red face Lug Nuts

Here's one to have fun with but I find conflicting answers....what size are the lug nuts? I need some new ones cause mine are fubar. I've seen both metric and standard sizes listed for an 05.

+ Sold in packs of 5; Price reflects cost of each individual item, not the pack

These are the ones I got off of rockauto.com for my truck .... and I would assume they fit as they are holding on my wheels now

I spent around $45 shipped for 20.

Thread 9/16"-18
Hex Size 7/8"
Length 1-1/2"
Seat Angle 60 deg

Ive never seen metric for our trucks .... but I didnt go that deep in to it.

Do these look the same as stock. I know the image looks right for them, but just curious. Why I ask, is, I think, one time the truck was in the shop someone put one of the lugs back on without the wheel, bottomed the lug nut out and kinda popped the chrome head cover up alittle. I noticed it when I rotated my tires last. Its not the threads or anything is just the visual chrome end. I eventually wouldnt mind getting a pack to fix the one and any others that start to deteriorate.

They do. but they looked more "polished" than my stock ones since I had 100k of WI driving on them. Basically they looked new, but they are the same in every other aspect. These hollow lugs are easy to mess up, expecially if someone uses an impact on them.

Let me know if you would like pictures to compare. I just installed them last month.

I went with these Gorilla lugs from Brandsport, nice & solid, no need to worry about swollen lugs again. I saw some black lugs on the site, but nothing in blue.
