Vixen 2500 Lug Nut Size?

[Rocky_LC]

I’m trying to figure out my Vixen 2500 lug nut size.

I tried threading on 12mm x 1.5 lug nuts, they only go on about halfway.

Are the studs 7/16 NF?

Thanks

Yes. Napa has them.
they are Not metric.

Thank you, sir!

I’ve got a set of Revolution wheels (16”) that I’m trying to test fit.

Not sure if they will work due to the offset & wider width.

You need to check the rear off set of the tyres to the rear upright for interference

Right…. That’s my first task, but would like to be able to secure them to the studs, at least temporarily…

Test fit the wheels today…. They seem to clear everything front & rear… but that’s the wheel only…

I made a mistake on the wheel sizing, these are 15” rims.

At ride height, I‘ve got about an inch between the body and the rim on the front edge of the wheel (see the picture). There is more room in the back.

The question is how do they fit with tires?

Tires that supposedly are 225/45 R15, and 205/50 R15, I would probably go with the 205s to gain about 1/2 inch clearance.

Would like to find one of those simulators, I would allow me to see if it’s a fit. I don’t want to buy a single tire to be a bit aWould like to find one of those simulators, I would allow me to see if it’s a fit.

I don’t want to have to buy a single tire to move it around the car for fitment testing

What I’m wondering is when the rear suspension is compressed, does the wheel move vertically, or in an arc towards the body inside the wheel well?

I guess to really do a good chair. I’d have to get a tire, remove the shocks & springs and swing the suspension.

Here’s some pics.. Not sure why there are two of the same
