[Chrysler300] Re: new wheel studs NOW: Wheel nuts

[brian hagen <brian.hagen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don,

THanks again.  I'm trying to get a better sense of what you are  
saying.  NO to tappered nuts, but what about the suggestion that John  
Hertog made about using the lugs with the longer shank that goes into  
the wheel itself?   The weird thing is, if you look up the new Torq  
Thrust wheels (look alikes to mine) Jegs suggests using tapered lug  
nuts!

Hopefully I can find a set of 1/2 lug nuts with the longer shank  
(under 1" in length) with matching washers to use on my wheels.
Like these for example:
