So I scored some OE wheels for my '97 and the plan is to either media blast or scuff/ sand so I can paint w/ one of the Duplicolor wheel paints. A generous Mudder sent me 6 wheels and a full compliment of lug nuts (washer style) so I'm well on my way to replacing my steel wagon wheels.
Opening the boxes today I have four wheels that use the acorn style lug nut and two that use the washer style. Drat. The four wheels that are acorn style are in better shape than the two washer style. I'd like to have 5 of the same type and I'm inclined to find a fifth like wheel (acorn) and associated lug nuts to get me on my way.
Question is, is my selected course of action sound? My understanding is the '95-97 used washer style lug nuts but don't believe there are issues running an earlier wheel as long as you use the correct lug nuts. I did search, I have read the FAQ , but I didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night. I believe I'm on the right track, just looking for confirmation before I make another purchase and put some more $ into my new to me wheels. Besides, we need more wheel/ lug nut/ paint threads. Right?
Thanks, Scott
