94 2wd wheel upgrade lug nut question

[lccarguy]

I've seen lots of posts on here about wheels and will probably go with a Mustang 16 or 17 wheel, but what lug nuts are used with these wheels?

thanks

Make sure you check the rim center bore diameter and backspacing. I just picked up a set of 18" Lexus SC430 rims. They have the same bolt pattern 5 X 114.3 as my 1994 2WD BUT the center bore is 60MM whereas my truck is closer to 67MM and now I find out the offset is about 2" deeper than the stock rims. I am going to pick up some wheel spacers / adapters and machine a hubcentric ring for them (for all the critics bashing wheel adapters) to fit the Lexus wheel 60MM centers.

wouldn't it be easier to have the Lexus wheel centers machined out to 67?

The Lexus wheels are 18 X 8" or 8.5". I was going to run my old school 15 X 7" I had on my 1988 2WD but they needed 4 new tires and I got a good deal on these wheels with 2 new tires already. The Lexus wheels have 2" more backspacing than my old wheels did which would make the 18" wheels fill the fender out as much as the stock 14 X 5" or whatever I have on there now do.

Lexus SC430. But you need Lexus style lugnuts and wheeel spacers which = not as good of a deal as I thought.
