They probably have the 7/16 lug nuts instead of the metric. The later
models had the metrics. I have had good luck with the www.summitracing.com
lugnuts. There are name brand ones and then the generic summit ones. I got
the summit ones and they are good quality. I recently purchased a set of
blister packaged ones at the local autoparts store. They were really poor.
The threads streched and they stuck on the studs. One stud broke when I
tried to crank it off. I had to cut two other lugs in half to get the wheels
off. It is worth it to get the good quality ones. I went to a old time
mom and pop tire shop. They had a big organizer full of new lug nuts. I
dug through for a while until I found a bunch of 7/16 x 20 and some washers.
The guy told me that they didn't have any use for those sizes anymore and
he gave them to me for free. What a bargain! I would try the 7/16 x 20
lug nuts first before ordering the oversized shank ones. I seriously doubt
that those wheels you have are the metric ones.
