The most common sizes of lug nuts on a Chevy Silverado 1500 are M14x1.5mm. Sometimes, upgrading to new aftermarket wheels is a good idea to improve the off-roading performance. But these aftermarket wheels may come with various lug seat types. The seating type refers to the part of the nut that makes contact with the wheel lug seat. Therefore, people who like to swap their Silverado 1500 OEM wheels usually end up replacing the OEM nuts to fit new wheels.
It’s also essential to be aware of the lug head shape. Most Chevy Silverado 1500 lug nuts have a hex shape that is designed for fitting a range of regular sockets. Some lug nuts’ diameter is commonly designed for specific aftermarket wheels and will require an adapter for installation/removal. They are called locking lug nuts, which require a dedicated pattern lug key for installation/removal. If you purchase aftermarket lug nuts, make sure that you have the hardware to be able to install/remove those wheel locks.
