    Default Wheel and lug Question

    So I picked up a set of 10 hole wheels that are in great shape and have the centers. What are the correct lug nuts to go with the wheels? Any tire choices other than 215 60 15 or 225 60 15? Going on my 1985 LTD LX.

    Lug nuts for 10-holes aren't wheel-specific, but vehicle-specific. So, the lug nuts on the car will work fine, though a security lock-nut at each wheel goes a long way from your nice wheels/tires from mysteriously rolling away. I've got 10-holes and four 235/60R-15's on my '86 Mustang.

    Thanks, didn't know if there was a specific alloy vs steel lug.

    The standard steel lug nut works fine on the 10 holes. The lug nut is such an old design I don't know how far back it goes 1950s? Nothing fancy here.
