Hey guys. Bought a set of 98 astro caps with the stock astro lug covers. I was wondering what lug nuts I need to buy to use with the stock lug covers, and my wheel. Anyone have an idea? Thanks.

if i'm not mistaking I think you can use the same lugs that the astro used to mount them. I just bought some New chrome covers i'm not going to use,... when you get your lug nuts. $24 shipped for the covers if your intertested. I'll get a pix.

I'm not going to use the chrome caps because they sit to high on the truck rallye cap,.. which you can see from pix. They would be perfect for your cap since they have a deeper lug area.

Thanks for the offer Roady, but I have the stock caps and I'm trying to do this on the ultra cheap. I guess the question now is will the stock Astro lugs fit fine on my wheels. I am assuming so.

Astro lugs come up as 14x1.5. Your wagon uses 12x1.5 so they won't fit.

I ended up with S-10 lug nuts and like camaro or corvette caps from ebay. But my wheels are a little different most likely, but same concept.

Ray if those S-10 lugnuts are working on Deadmans wagon then his wheelstuds are 12x1.5mm.

Thanks for the input guys. Tracking down this stuff is a PITA. Wish the yards around here just kept the damn wheels on the cars lol.

I really wish I had taken pics of what I did. So simple it hurt.

Guess I need to hit up the yards for some caps and make a how to.

Ok since the astro lug covers are too big for the FWD impala lugs. I found these http://www.ebay.com/itm/FREE-SHIPPING-NEW-PONTIAC-GRAND-PRIX-CHROME-LUG-NUT-COVERS-/130605806507?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item1e68b673ab#ht_672wt_905 which I think is what david chugg used on his wheels, along with the fwd impala lugs.

I have a set of these centers if anybody wants a set. Bought them off ebay and never used them. I paid $39, but $25 shipped and they are yours.
