2012 GT500 SVT: While cleaning and rotating the wheels, I noticed the original nuts were showing signs of deformation around the points (due to impact wrench usage?) So I bought a new set of 20 that were listed as fitting a GT500, but they are 19mm (3/4") instead of stock 21mm (13/16"). Threaded the same, and on inspection the cone metal-to-metal contact area with stock wheels seems the same (the 21mm looks like a significant portion of metal was not in contact against the rim, and seemed to be exposed to corrosion.)
They do look good.
Any worries?

As long as the thread pitch is the same you are good to go. I've run 3/4" and 13/16" with different wheels and never had an issue.

I have used 3/4" for years due to smaller holes in after market rims with no issues.

Thanks! These were $20 at Amazon, and are solid steel (as opposed to the capped stock nuts). I believe they are the same as on CJ's or AM. I do like the look.
