The 96 Suburban has a conversion package and came with aluminum wheels.
I was just changing wheels today and through on a regular lug nut - as apposed to the long capped style.

Found out I have been running on 1/2 a lug nut for many years

The studs are 49mm long but need to be at least 3/8" to 1/2" longer

Any ideas or part numbers.

I called Napa and Advanced but they can't do anythng more than check application.

I had also called Autozone. They were my 3rd call after the 2 closest Napa's
I tried Jegs and Summit also
I went to a specialty shop I kankakee and the guy said he didn't have any but would see about ordering some Monday. He also gave me the name of another specialty shop.

The specialty shop was very close to Autozone so I thought I'd check there even though they said they didn't have any over the phone. Got a great lady that went on a mission and found me 8 studs. She then checked availability and found 8 more at the original Autozone I called. Kind of ticked me off. Cost me about 3 hours of calling on the phone.
Thanks
