I have SSIV wheels I want to put on my 70 Delta 88. What lug nuts should I/could I use?

thanks

John, I'm not sure the SSIV wheels will work on your 1970 Delta 88. While the bolt pattern is the same, until 1970 the Delta 88 and 98 had a speedo gear driven off of the front driver's wheel hub. This unique hub cap was quite large and may limit your use of aftermarket rims (even the OE SSIVs). Hopefully someone else can say for sure.

I got the idea from this article in Hemmings Classic Car - it's a 69 Convertible with the SSIVs

Interesting. Do you already have a set of SSIVs?

Yes, I actually have 2 sets. I plan on using the 5 best for the car (4 plus a spare)

I recall seeing a gold 69/70 Delta conv with the SSIV wheels at the Nats in Springfield in the late 90s. The car in your link is nice. I wish there were a few side view shots of it. As for the lug nuts, an option might be to look at trucks that have the bigger studs like I think your Delta has.
