Default 16" SC400 / 17" GS400 - Same lug nuts?

Hey guys,

I am looking to install some GS400 17's on my 93 SC400. Currently I have the OEM 16" 10 spokes mounted. Will I need new / different lug nuts or do we have a perfect match?

Thanks!

They are the same.

When I sold the four 17" OEM GS rims I sold it with the original lug nuts. Good think I had some left over lug nuts (flat with washer) from my previous 95 SC400 to use it for the full size GS 17" OEM spare tire in the trunk. Match perfectly. The lug nut (acorn type) use for the aftermarket Lowenhart rims are not compatible with the OEM rims.

The 16 inch from the stock SC400 rim lug nuts are longer than the 17 inch GS lug, I put the 17's on my sc with the orignal sc lugnuts they stuck out and looked ugly, you have to go to a tire place and change the lug nuts.

Yup your right. My mistake. Just checked the lug nut I am using as spare. They were from my first '91 LS400. Just notice the lug nut I have in the trunk were open end nuts and galvanized finish (not chromed like the one from the SC). Yes. The SC are longer. Don't know where I put the rest of the SC lug nuts. I know I had some.

Sorry FaceUT for giving you the wrong information.
