Default Factory Wheel Lugnut Length

I had to cross over to the C6 side for an answer to this one.

I'm putting a set of 2006 polished wheels on my C5, and I need to know the length of the correct closed end lugnut to use with them.

My 2001 wheels have open ended lug nuts, with those gray plastic covers over them.

I'd really appreciate it, if someone could measure a factory 2005-2006 lugnut total length for me. Thanks in advance.

Jim: On my original 05-c6 factory polished wheels, total or overall lugnut lenght is 1.5 inches. You have a good day, Larry

I probably should! We just got a fresh batch of snow yesterday.
Spring just can't come soon enough for me.
