Default Thread pitch and size for aftermarket lugnuts??

Just as the post says.
Does anybody know the thread pitch and size? I want to get some aftermarket lugs and my connection is beyond slow where im at or im sure it would be easy to find.

Also is it possible to install the mag ride shocks on my Z51.
Im sure it woould involve a newer and or seperate pcm/bcm. I do know on a lot of vehicles, in order to make it more efficient sometimes manufacturers already have the option for certain things in place but not installed.
I have actually came across a set that will be given to me and I'm kind of curious if this is ever been discussed.

MSRC is an option on the Stingray. Z51 or not.

12x1.5mm is the size for the C7 lugs.

Thanks Kent!!

My Z51 does not have the mag ride. I have a set that was given to me and wondering that eventhough mine does not have them if it would be possable to install them. Im sure i would need maybe an extra harness/controller os update etc..

MRC cannot be added after the fact due to all the electronics changes involved. It's a separate option from the Z51 package. If the car didn't come with it, you're out of luck.

Nothing is impossble.

I have turned a front wheel drive GTP into a rear wheel. I have the shocks etc already so a big part of the expenditure is done. I know it's probably more work than most would try but what the heck. What are the changes/differences?


Off the top of my head i can think of harnesses, software/os changes. Not sure if it requires an extra pcm interface or if its independent etc. And as with some system options, the ability is there for the sake of efficiency on the assembly line, just not installed.

More power to you! I know several folks on the forum would love to hear if you're successful or not. I certainly don't know all the items involved, and when you get into modern vehicle electronics, even simple things can quickly become prohibitive in cost and/or complexity. Good luck and let us know what you end up with!
