Lug nut
Hey all real general question. Havent posted much on here, and havent been around in a while...
But here is my straigjt forward question. So i had to replace a few lugs. Due to stripping the capped portion off during a tore rotation. I had some spare lugs lying around however noticed the hex size or head size is slightly larger... Lugs are m12x1.5 as they should be but with a 20mm head size. Is this a problem? (Besides the obvious potential headache of sifferent lug sizes during tire rotation.)

As long as the seat is conical you should be fine. Are they chrome capped or dipped? Usually the capped ones corrode underneath the cap and turn the 19mm into a 19.5/20mm.

it is a conically seated nut. i cannot recall if they are capped or dipped, i want to say dipped. Based on look. Just had them laying around and knew they had the proper threading.
