    Since there are some of us here that are purists,what was the correct size for lugnuts on the GS's? I've sometimes heard 3/4 or 7/8? Which one is correct?

    Thank you guys! Nowadays,with all the manufacturers out there,the sizes can vary.

    I kind of thought that 3/4 was the correct size,but I wanted a second opinion.

    Thanks Korrie! Since you guys mentioned it, I put one of the first sets that CARS produced on my Stage 1 and the best thing is that they are in stainless steel. No more rusted lugnuts,thank God! :TU:
