Default C5z lugs

Hey guys. I’m looking to pick up 2003 z speedlines with center caps. I currently have OE z replica wheels. Does anyone know if the chrome lugs will work the the oem wheels? Or where to get oem lugs and plastic caps.

Thanks

I would think that they will work. You're using the same studs.

So long as the lug is the right thread pattern (12mm x 1.5) you can use ANY hub-centric lug nut so long as it is deep enough where the lug bottoms out on the wheel vs the stud bottoming out inside the lug cap. Really the only thing to concern yourself with at that point is appearance.

Yep, the lugs should work just fine, but the chrome lugs may look out of place with the wheel color. I would imagine most of the major parts retailers would have the OEM style lugs and caps available and if not, try one of the forum’s used parts vendors.
