SS Lugnut Question for new Wheels - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

ZZcamaro · 04-07-2010, 10:43 AM

I have a set of 360 Forged 20 inch wheels coming for my project...
I am no wheel fitment expert so I thought I would ask you all...

Will I need a new set of lugs? I want to make sure I have them here ASAP if I need them, if not then I save some cash!

thanks for the help!!!!!

yes , you will need a new set of lugs....... our new super 5 wheels can use the oem lugs.

I am using some Straight Five wheels from 360 Forged, so I guess I will still need new lugs... Any body else agree or disagree?

WHY do you need a NEW set of lug nuts if they OEM lug nuts fit?

That is the problem... apparently not all wheels will fit with the OEM lugs... and I am trying to find out if anybody knows if mine will fit ro not.

Ok, then I honestly don't know. They will still be the 14mm lugs, but maybe not the 1.5"...have you contacted the wheel manufacturer?

The techs at Forged Distributing said that the factory lugs will work on my wheels.

They also said that depending on the wheels, they may not fit, but in this case, the OEM lugs will fit perfect.

just something you may want to double-check when people are ordering wheels.

Yes you will need new lug nuts the hole is to small to fit the oem ones!!!! Your new wheels should come with lug nuts????????? At least with my wheels I needed new ones hole was to small!!! The 7/8 lugs were to large for the 3/4 inch hole!!!

OK guys, in the past the 5 lugs with tapered seats would center the wheels on the hubs. Our cars have hub-centric centering which is different. Same style tapered lugs but the wheels must mate to the hub thru the hub-centric fit. My 2 cents.
