Default Lug Nut Question

I need to replace my lug nuts because what I am using isn't the right type needed for my wheels. How do you tell what size you need. I am running some American brand alluminum rims that need the full shoulder. They don't make these rims anymore to be able to look them up and I can't figure out how to tell the shoulder size needed. There is also nobody local that sells these style of nuts to just try em out so I'm gonna have to order them in.

If you have a discount tire or americas tire in the area they should be able to help you out. If not www.gorilla-auto.com is where I order from, they have just about all there could be, and good quality stuff, Ive sold them for years. I haven't looked at the website in a while, but there should be a order form explaining how to measure for your needs, if not let me know and I will walk you through it.

Checked it out, it just gives the stock size needed. In our case it's 9/16. 9/16 - 18 is what's on there right now but they are an acorn style. I need to figure out how to measure for the Mag Lug shoulder diameter and depth. Does look like a handy site to look through though, thanks.
