My aftermarket lugnuts are specific to my wheels and cannot be used for my stock rims. In order to fit my stock wheels (for winter), I need another lug nut. The aftermarket studs are same pitch/thread as stock. So basically, what lug nut measurements should I look for? Any probs with the nut's seat or is it a standard? (I eyed my stock bolt to a lug nut and it "looked" okiedoeky.)

Well..... I used a little too much thread lock on the aftermarket studs so..... The stock bolts might work if I wrench the studs out. Figured why bother and opt for a set of nuts.

Actually, thats a good question... If I have a lot of trouble pulling the studs out then F*** it, I'll use lug nuts over the stock bolts. Still though, I'll need the size just in case. I'll try to budge the aftermarket lugs tonight. I don't think they'll move though. I used red thread lock and covered the entire portion that goes into the hub. I think I might bend a few allen keys getting them out.
