Default Year One Repro 15X8 Snowflake rims

Posted this in the 77-81 F-Body section. Thought I would get more coverage with this posting.

Already purchased the Ames lug nuts FT261P. 7/16 thread. YO says 7/16-20.

That difference worries me. Should I purchase the ones from YO QJ39S?

I recall from the past research I did there was a loose problem with the YO rims. Was it ever resolved?

Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't worry about it. 7/16-20 and 7/16 when considered for GM lug nuts will be the same.

pretty sure that was for the 17" 'YO snowflakes, the 15" fit fine on a friends 80 T/A.

YO did change their later 17" to conical seats so needed conical lug nuts.
