Here is kind of a stupid question but I'll admit I have no clue when it comes to lug nuts, but I'll ask it anyway. I currently have 3/4" lug nuts on right now. Will 1/2" fit also or do I have to stick with the 3/4"?

I'm pretty sure that the wheel studs are 1/2" diameter, so am curious how someone thinks they can get 1/2" socket-sized lugs to fit on a 1/2" diameter shaft. Or are you perhaps confusing socket size with thread size?

BTW: There is a subforum for Stock JK questions. That would be a better place for this one.

Except when you get into hardened structural bolts the standard rule of thumb for the wrench size is
1 1/2 times the nominal bolt size. If you're shopping for locking wheel nuts-(just Guessing here) Yes the thread size is 1/2" X20 threads per inch pitch and the socket size is 3/4" for your tool to install.

Now I helped the youngsters...It's my turn. Why can't my MS XP OS let me get into IE search anymore and Mozilla Firefox is slow to fire up?

If you post a new thread under 'whats new' that a lot of us go to it isn't sorted? Just wondering Jedi because that's where I found his post.

That's a good tip I wasn't aware of.

What's New shows all new posts in any sub-forum. If you look all the way over to the right you will see the sub-forum it was posted in. He posted the question in JK Talk rather than Stock JK Tech which Mark suggested.

At least that's how I think it works.

Are you sure about that?
They look more like 1/2" x 20, to me.

Ringer

You are correct.

Helped the youngsters with wrong info. They are 1/2-20.

I don't think you can start a thread in What's New, can you? As 14Sport wrote, it's just a compilation of all new posts.

BTW: I normally don't post about things being in the wrong subforum unless the person has a really low post count (16 in this case). Mostly I just want to help them better use the forums. Search, unreliable as it is, is a bit better if folks do a couple things, including use decent titles on their post ("Got a Question" is pretty useless--why not just make the question the title?), and limit discussions to the appropriate subforum. So, my thinking is a bit more long range.

Ah so thread is NF not NC. That's cool but the main thing he needs to know is that it is a 1/2 " nominal diameter lug nut and the supplier will know the pitch.
