C3 Lug Nuts
Hi Guys,
I'm new here and have a question which may sound stupid, but I need to know. Some time ago I purchased a 1979 Trans Am (hoping to buy a C3 when this one is finished) which came with 1976 C3 aluminum rims. When I got it home and took the rims off, it looks like the holes in the rims are larger than the lug nuts. Are there special lug nuts you need to use with these rims.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
