Default Lug Nuts

Hi, does anyone the size of the lug nuts on the '07 Magnum (17" rims)?
I want to buy the open ended, (not chrome) ones for my winter tires.
Anyone know where to get such a thing, the dealer does not sell open ended, non chrome ones.
Many thanks
Jim

Oh, dude.... This is a bad subject for me, as the Stock Lug Nuts are simply Chrome Caps snapped over and Open end Lug Nut, that there is no Socket made to fit. I have researched this and this is what I have found. Any other input that I don't know would be appreciated.

The Pitch and the end of the Stock Lug Nuts are unique to the Stock Rims. You cannot buy an aftermarket Lug Nut with the same pitch as the Stock Rims. There are plenty of aftermarket Lug Nuts, but they only match the pitch of aftermarket rims. However, after the guys at the Super Autobachs spent literally hours to get the Rims off and back on the car, they replaced the stock lug nuts with a chevy pick up truck (or some GM vehicle) lug nut, which had the same pitch. I now have an almost complete set of open end lug nuts, though they are not chrome... (they didn't have 20 in their bucket of lug nuts saved from replacing stock rims with aftermarkets) Let me know if you find some aftermarket lug nuts with a stock pitch. Hope this helps...

65 Standard,
Who sells a Chrome One Piece Lug Nut at the pitch? I have checked Gorilla and they didn't make one. All be it more than a year ago that I checked... A full set should be about $40 or so. Any info on where to get them would be appreciated...

65 Standard,

Are you using Stock Rims, or Aftermarket Rims? Your picture shown has aftermarket rims, which lug nuts are available everywhere. Please confirm that you have found a One Piece Chrome Lug Nut for the Stock RT Rim. I would like to buy some!

Thank the Lawyers...

I figured the aftermarket lug nuts would be OK, but the Folks at the Tire Centers must have already been sued. They will not install an aftermarket lug nut on the Factory Rims... 65 Standard, thank you for the feedback!

Hi Bay_Area_magnum,
Do you have stock wheels? I just bought the 91147SS gorilla lug nuts and i have stock wheels, RT 05 AWD. I see the difference of the diameter of the end pitch and am concerned of safety if I put them on. Please let me know how your experience is with the gorilla's you got. let me know any details, thanks
