In order to match your lug nuts or bolts to your wheels, ensure:
1.Proper Fastener Seat

3.Proper Thread Engagement.
This is critically important. Make sure you have a minimum thread engagement of the diameter of the vehicle stud (as recommended by SAE).
4.Proper Torque (tightening)
This is also very important. Over tightening lug nuts/bolts can fatigue the vehicle studs or lug bolts. Use the SAE recommended torque listed below as a guideline for passenger cars and light trucks;
12mm, 7/16″, 1/2″ = 85 ft/lbs (+/- 5 ft/lbs)
14mm, 9/16″ = 115 ft/lbs (+/- 5 ft/lbs)
