Things to Know Before You Buy Lug Nut Covers

The Two Main Types of Lug Nut Covers:

Threated: screws onto exposed threads of lug nut.
Push-on: snap onto the lug nut.

Standard Sizes:

33mm or 1-1.5 inches.
Push-on covers are often 33 mm, but threaded covers both sizes.

Determining Lug Nut Size:

Use a socket wrench to test the fit.
33 mm = 1.3 inches; 1-1.5 inches is 38 mm.

Hub Piloted vs Stud Piloted Wheels

Hub-piloted wheels: require 33 mm lug nuts.
Stud-piloted wheels: require 1-1.5 inch lug nuts.

Determine the Fit: Threaded vs Push-On

Measure exposed thread length of lug nut (from end of tightened nut to tip of stud).
If less than 0.5 inches of exposed thread = use push-on covers.
If more than 0.5 inches = use threaded covers.
