Lug End Types

Closed End Lugs Nuts are available in 1-Piece and 2-Piece designs.

1-Piece Design Lug Nuts are used primarily for cosmetic purposes whereas 2-Piece Design Lug Nuts has a thin metal cap on the top of the nut. The 2-Piece design protects against false torque readings as a result of the wheel stud contacting the inside of Lug Nut prior to seating with wheel.

Open End Lugs

Open End Lugs are designed with the end of the lug nut open to fit under hub caps and wheel covers where space is limited. Studs usually protrude through the end of the lug nut.

2 Piece Design

Most Coyote Accessories lug nuts are a two piece design. The 2-piece design refers to a thin metal cap on the Lug Nut that protects against false torque readings resulting from the wheel stud contacting the inside of lug nut prior to seating with the wheel.

Manufacturing
Most Coyote lugs are forged, not cut from bar stock. Forging allows for better mechanical properties and consistent quality.
Finish

Chrome Finish

All chrome plated lug nuts have a long lasting, high luster finish. Every Coyote lug nut is double nickel plated to surpass 48 hour salt spray testing.

Black Finish

Coyote Accessories black lug nuts and bolts are coated with black zinc, then painted using an electro-deposition process. This process ensures the long lasting beauty of our black parts. Even if the paint chips off during installation, the black zinc remains to ensure corrosion resistance and a long lasting luster.

Seat Styles

Acorn Seat

Acorn Lug Nuts are designed with a standard 60-degree conical tapered seat for use on steel wheels.

Bulge Acorn Lug Nuts

Bulge Acorn Lug Nuts provide more seating surface area than a standard acorn lug nut and are commonly used for aluminum wheels without a steel insert.

Mag and Shank-Style Lug Nuts are used with wheels which have Mag Style Lug holes. Mag style lug holes are found on older aluminum wheels and some retro style wheels as pictured below. Mag style wheels were very common in the 1960’s and 1970’s. This style of lug nut is popular with hot rodders who are building custom rods attempting to maintain a particular look.

Mag Style Lug Nuts require a washer for properly securing the wheel to the vehicle. Wheel manufactures like Keystone and Crager use Off-Center and On-Center washers as the wheels were designed with oblong holes so that they can be used on different bolt circles. The On-Center and Off-Center washers assist in matching the Lug Nuts to wheels for a secure clamping force.
