Lug Nuts (Searched)

I was wondering what kind of lug nuts the stock rim utilizes. I have searched and pulled up all Size thread results. I have FD rims that I will be running slicks on my Evo with. Are they acorn? Conical? Your help is appreciated. Thank you. I can't post anywhere else but here, due to my post count not being 5. I don't plan on PW'ing to get the 5. HOPEFULLY my question can be answered.

Thank you!

Ed

The underside of the nut is conical, this much I know. Thread pitch and size of course depend on the wheel lugs, not the wheel.

The stock Fc wheel uses a Closed acorn style nut,that is conical to Fit in the rim and 'center the nut" so to speak.
You can get Open end nuts if your wheel studs are linger to eliminate the nut from going "just so far" and not allowing the nut to tighten Properly to the car.
The FC Studs are 12x1.5mm I am sure the FD are the same too.
I use Gorilla type Splined Nuts for "theft Prevention".These nuts are also Good to use for aftermarket wheels,Because the Holes of the Wheel are usually smaller and won't allow you to use a stock type Wheel nut.
