Due to bulging, I need to replace the two-piece lug nuts installed on our 2022 Solitude 378MBS riding on the 17.5" rims in the 8-bolt pattern. The lugs require a 9/16" socket to torque and that is the only measurement provided on the parts lookup page for replacement but, Dorman requires a more extensive set of measurements. Does anyone have a full set of measurements for these lug nuts? Thank you.

Hi there,
According to E-trailer, Dexter axle most likely uses a 3" lug stud that is fine thread on the wheel end, and coarse thread on the hub end. Based on what I can find, it appears that you want lug nuts that measure 9/16"-18.
I believe your lug nuts need a larger socket than 9/16" to torque.

Thank you very much for the information, I hadn't thought to look on E-trailer. You are absolutely correct, I misspoke, the lugs take a 7/8" socket to torque. Thank you again.

Ok guys, I am looking for a source to replace the crappy 9/16-18 two-piece lug nuts factory installed on our 8k axles with disc brakes running the 215/75/17.5 Cooper's. The installed lug nuts have the following measurements:
Length: 2.04" (51.7mm)
Width at the widest point of the seat: 1.02" (25.96mm)
Width in the middle of the lug nut: 0.87" (22.1mm)
Seat: Conical 60 degrees
Hex: 7/8" socket to break/torque
I have tried every source I can and can only find the 9/16-18's either a 1.91" or a 2.37" in the 0.87" width and 60 degree seat. If anyone know where to source a lug nut that will work for my application, I would appreciate it. Thank you.Last edited by haznavy; 06-09-2023, 11:21 AM.Very Respectfully,

9/16" - 18 Lug Nuts (if this is the correct thread) . . . do not seem too difficult to find. Such as https://www.amazon.com/MIKKUPPA-16-1...s%2C131&sr=8-3
I would suggest going with chromed steel. Stainless steel lug nuts are out there, but are too soft to retain the necessary torque.

Hey Jim, that's what I was wondering. Is there any risk to using a lug nut over 2"?

Jim
Roger that, much appreciated.
