Default ARE Lug Nuts

I recently purchased a 69' with vintage American Racing Equipment 200 S wheels, I am looking for lug nuts to replace the originals, these lug nuts are different than what is used today. They are 7/16x20 with 3/4" hex the shank is .620 dia. .500 length. I havn't been able to locate any so far. Thanks for your help.

Try your local speed shop. They may be able to find them from a different manufacture.

I have 200-S wheels on mine and the lugnuts came from The Lug Nut King 10765 Bennett Ave. Fontana, CA 92337 909-376-8011.

lugnutking@msn.com

The hex on these is 13/16", shank is 1/2" and the diameter is .675

Just checked his website. Looks like part # 4002-5 is the one you need.

Thanks everyone, Fordman are your 200s wheels new or earlly style, mine are old style about 1970 vintage which I believe the lug holes are smaller. I will call the Lugnut King.

The Lugnut King is the guy to call, you can also find him on Ebay. I was looking for some centercaps and lugs for my vintage (70's) ET wheels and he had everything I was looking for and at a reasonable price.

Mine may be later as the valve stem hole is in the center of the wheel between the spokes. I also have 2 extra wheels that have the valve stem hole out in the outer flange area.
