I wanted bigger nuts


Gorilla Lugnuts (on the left) were a bit too big.

I borrowed one from a friend to try.

I ordered Dorman open-ended (centre), they should work.

The shoulder was what I wanted the most.

A steel wheel that doesn't work with a stock lug nut? Weird.

If you don't have a shoulder then the socket scratches the rim.

It's not the rim, it's me biggrin

 Glue an o-ring to the end of the socket?

I watched a video recently where a technician was servicing a Ferrari.

He covered the socket or nut somehow to prevent scratching the WHEEL center.

I should have paid closer attention to it but there was no Canadian Pontiac content.

IMHO, stock nuts are barely adequate as I've seen some damaged stud holes.

I try to use bulge nuts whenever possible.

Thanks
Randy
