lug nut size

[honda98civic]

whats the proper lug nut size for a 98 civic. my lugnuts seem to screw on crooked and not stay tightened. before i bought them i asked the dude at autozone the ones i need and he picked out the ones i have but they cant be right.

m12 X1.5. the lugs should have a tapered bottom.

the ones i have say 1/2-20h/t
and they have a tapered bottom.

1/2-20 ≠ 12-1.5

maybe some new studs too. because if you somehow got the 1/2-20 onto your car, you probably f**ked the threads on the studs up.

1/2-20 is like a 13mm thread.

I'm honestly suprised your wheels stayed on at all.

Almost everything is 12X1.5 now except Nissans (12X1.25) and GM trucks (14X1.5) Maybe Subaru too

autozone owes you some new lugs and studs IMO

alright i took off my wheels and my studs are still good. i screwed on my stock lug nuts to just the stud and it held good. so i guess the lugnuts had supersoft threads and the studs made its own threads in the lugnut. just thought id let yall know i dont have to replace my studs
