What size lug nut for wheels???

I have a set of 12mm X 1.50 ARP wheel studs. I need to find a set of lug nuts that I can use on my drag rims as well as my Eagle 077's. I can use a standard acorn open ended lug from a stock 4th gen, but I wanted a nice set of chrome ones to match my Eagles when they are on the car. I have no idea what size to order. Never had to deal with this before. Someone think they can lend a hand, or tell me how to do it???

As far as the size they are 12mm x 1.5 just like your studs. What kind of drag rims do you have? Do the Eagles use the acorn style or are they actually the long shank lug nuts? When I got my SS (chrome) wheels I bought a set of lug nuts from AFS wheels that looked great on the car. You might try and email them because I know they sell the lugs seperate. You could also check out Ebay.com. I just bought a set of open end long shank lugs for my slicks in the back. I needed the open end because of the longer studs needed to run slicks at the track. Hope this helps out.

That helps a little. I am not real sure on the make of my drag rims, I bought them used and never was told what they are. I do know from experiance that a set of stock lugs will work, but the studs were to short, so the track told me to get studs if I wanted to use them. My Eagles lugs are closed ended, so I will need a set of open ended ones due to the stud length. But I want a nice set of chrome ones. Is this the same size as a stock lug? 12mm X 1.50? If so, I can just use those till I find a set of them.

Yep they are the same size. Also they make open ended acorn style lugs for the longer studs. This will make it possible to use your Eagles with the longer studs, but I havent ever seen any pics so I dont know how it would look or how for the studs stick out from the wheels.
