Default I've got Gorilla nuts. really!

Wanna see em,no really,I bought a box of stuff at an auction and There was 20 shiny chrome lug nuts in a can and they say "Gorilla-12mm" on the sides of them,I was wondering what kind of car or rim they would fit on and would they possibly fit my 84 Vette with stock 16s,they are in really nice shape. If they don't fit mine then maybe I can trade them for something to someone that needs them.even if it's not on here. thank again.

Your wheel studs are 12 X 1.5 mm thread, so the nut should fit the stud, fine. Compare the tapered cone where the nut seats against the wheel to be sure they are the same angle and configuration. Finally, if the Gorilla nuts are acorn or capped. make sure the stud won't bottom in the blind end of the nut before the cone centers and secures the wheel to the hub.

RACE ON!!!
