Question:

What lug nuts should I be using on my 17.5.6.75 ALCOA wheels with 9/16 x 2.5 wheel studs. Can I use chrome or stainless steel? or do I need zinc coated lug nuts? What part numbers should I use? Thanks

At the end of the day, you can use any of those options (stainless steel, zinc or chrome), you just need to get a lug nut that fits the 9/16 stud. But, we do not have a chrome option that fits the 9/16 stud.

Personally, I would go with the stainless steel option because it will provide the best corrosion resistance and the most durable option.

But if you are looking for a more economical option, you can use the zinc coated lug nut.
