M38A1 lug nut?

Post by ChiGuy82 »

Hey Guys!
Well, I got the wheels powder coated and they look amazing! Now, I'm looking for lug nuts for the A1 and I can't find any aftermarket more modern lug nuts? I searched for, "M38A1 lugnuts" and all that came up was the original lug nuts. I then searched, "3/4" OD lug nuts" and still, no joy. I'm looking for black bullet style lug nuts and can't find any. Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks,
Mike

Any standard lugnut should fit, just remember to get right and left hand threads.

In fact I was just at NAPA the other day and they let me dig thru their drawers so I could find a suitable stud for the tire carrier I fixed. I also picked up some wheel nuts. They had both left and right hand nuts.
1/2" x 20 wheel nuts.

I'm not sure what you mean by black bullet style. These ones at Napa look stock with the open end and they take a 3/4" socket. $1.69 each.

I'd guess "Powder Coated" means custom finish wheels (not military) and "Bullet Style" means those lugs that came with the old western white spoke steel wheels that looked like large acorn type nuts.

These 1/2" nuts are at:

And 1/2"-20 RH here:

I don't see any in LH thread though. You will probably have to replace your LH wheel studs.

Make sure the seat angle matches the cone angle in your wheel.
