Wheel nuts query

[ParticleX]

I checked my lug nuts and some of the nuts' threads are badly stripped na so am thinking of replacing all of them na lang for safety concerns. Some of my questions:

1. Ok lang ba kung yung length ng new lug nuts eh mas mahaba konti compared sa original nito?

2. May spare nuts ako na brand new and I tried replacing yung worst of the lot. Talaga bang mahigpit and kelangan ng force pag brand new nuts? Kahit saang bolt ko ilagay mahigpit sya sa una pero eventually pumasok naman all the way. (or nasanay lang ako sa kalbo na threads)

3. Ano ang price range ng new nuts? OEM or plain style lang, di ko naman need ng mga may color or yung mga may anti-theft features. 6 nuts per tire so 24 lahat. Eto so far na canvass ko:
- Pinakamalapit ng auto supply: 2.5k lahat
- Ace hardware: around 1.4k
- second nearest auto supply: 600 lang (25/nut). Ang pinakita ko na sample is from Ace hardware, sabi nila parehas raw yung sa kanila (pero di ko nakita yung mismong nut na binebenta nila). Ok lang ba yung mga galing Ace?

stay away from aluminum lug nuts. nasisira ito over time.

steel nuts gamitin mo

Yeah thanks. I don't see a need for them and as you say nga they break over time.

With regards to #1 eh what I mean is eh kung OK lang na yung new lug nuts has a slightly longer thread than the original one, wala namang maapektuhan? Yung na canvass ko kasi sa second auto supply,
(1) same length as original (pero di ko nacheck kung OEM) is 70/pc.
(2) nagdala ako ng sample ng new lug nut from Ace (has a longer thread), parehas din raw nung binebenta nila at 25/pc > eto sana ang kunin ko.

^ Tama, don't use aluminum lug nuts.

Go OEM, iba pa rin yung safe ang sasakyan mo. Punta ka sa casa. Sa mga auto shop kung wala ka kakilala baka lokohin ka na sabihing maganda quality pero hindi naman. Sa casa at least guaranteed ka. Palitan mo lang yung kelangan talaga, yung puwede pa if original/OEM yan huwag mo na palitan.

left side is yung original ko, right side is from Ace. I've researched and may dfferent types of nuts pala. 12 x 1.25 yung size nung sakin. Ang nakalagay sa nut nung ace is 1.25RH.

would anything happen kung mas mahaba ang ilagay ko??

As long as the thread fits properly, I see no problem with the longer lug nut.
As they say, do not use aluminum nuts. Aluminum is a soft metal.

it should be okay. the 12 is 12 mm bolt diameter and the 1.25 is 1.25 threads per millimeter or 5 threads in 4 mm. RH means it is turned clockwise to tighten

Yup, RH - right hand turn/clockwise threads

[kimbon]

either RH nor LH turn clockwise to tighten
