Whats the best size lug nuts for running Draglites on stock 4 lug Mustangs? I know 1/2" x 20 thread. What shank length (.750, 1.000) Open or closed end? Brand preference? Offset washers or round?
Also, I heard from an Ebay seller that the Weld centercaps are a different size on 4 lug wheels than 5 lug wheels? True? If so, which size do I need?

Well, I mostly need to know the best shank length. I remember from a previous mustang I had, the stock length studs didnt stick through the thick hub on the Welds. I want to grab enough of the threads to stay safe. Just don't know how long a shank to run.

My opinion, buy the weld brand lug nuts. I bought knock offs and they weren't the same diameter shank and the wheels wobbled. Put on the weld nuts, and it was gone. the shank length was about 1.75" on my 18" draglite XP's.

You can see the specs for your wheel on summit.

My 5 lug Prostars use a 1.38 length shank.
