They are all the same size. During '02 production GM switched from the lug nut and plastic cap setup to the SS shell crimped over the lug nut. Just a word of advice to avoid using any air/impact tools with the SS nuts. The shell won't take a beating, and if it comes off, you are left with an oddball sized lug nut that you are trying to remove.

do yourself a favor and contact cajundude and get a set of gorilla lugs. Good quality lugs.

I would ask what year C5 you are taking the lugs from. Early models of C5, 97-99 I think have OEM one piece center cap/lug covers.

The Z06 has the screw on lug covers that require threads on the tips of the lug nuts. The 97-99 oem lug nuts will not have these threads on them.
