Lug nut choice - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My 2011 SS has a set of zl1 replicas on it and I am replacing lug nuts. The current lugs are m14x1.5 but seem to be skinny. I ordered m14x1.5 lug nuts off of amazon for replacement and they seem wider. Not sure which is better or correct.

The rear wheels only have one lip for the lug nuts but the front wheels have a inner and outer lip for the lug nuts to sit on. Not sure which is correct or if either one is correct.

from what I have seen, the aftermarket, replica ZL 1's take a skinner lug nut while the OEM ones take the large lug nut.

Here are pictures of the back wheel, front wheel, old skinny lug and new wider lug

The factory lugs are not compatible with the ZL1 replica wheels. Based on the pictures, the lug on the left resembles the factory lugs and the ones on the right are the lugs that should be used with the replica wheels.

Here are the ones I am using with my replicas:

^^^^ +1 on these, they are what I used on my replicas as well, except chrome because my wheels were polished silver.

Yup I found exact replacements. Gorilla as well. Just not all locking. $30 off ebay.
