I see that Inline tube lists 2 different lug nuts for SS1 wheels. One that I have question on is specifically for the trim ring style on the 71-72 SS1s. They are 13/16 Hex head. I checked out my assembly manual but didnt see anything that would indicate a different lug nut OR a different lug wrench for that matter. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Have a set of 71-72s that are the trim ring version and they do seem to have a slightly larger lug holes that is not from wear and tear.
Would also like to know if there were two different lug wrench. I assume there must have been, but I also did not find two part numbers called out in assembly illustration manual...
The 13/16 lug nuts are aftermarket and are not correct. The factory lugs actually have a steel nut that is smaller than a 3/4" hex and a stainless steel cap crimped over that nut that provides a finished size at 3/4". If a vendor is selling a chrome plated lug nut, it is NOT "factory correct", despite what their ad copy may claim.
I ended up using McGard 64011 lug nuts for the SSI's on my '72. I was concerned about the quality of the reproduction lug nuts after reading some negative reviews about them. The McGard lug nuts don't look exactly like the originals (I think they look better), but they are made in USA and seem to be excellent quality.
