Default Need lugs for aftermarket rims

So I found a website that still has set of m/t classics for our trucks and I think I'm gonna buy them before someone else snatches them. They don't come with lugs tho. I looked on Amazon for lugs and a lot of the reviews said they rusted but I was wondering what your guys personal experience with them is. I would like to get a locking set if I can. Also confused on what size I need. Thread size and the depth size i need.

You lug size is 12 mm x 1.75. I use the same on my 98.. Later trucks (late 99 and up) use 14mm x 2.0.

so 12 x 1.5 lugs won't work then? Even with the rim on it?

Because most of the stuff online is 1.50. I'm having trouble finding 1.75

That is plenty deep for your studs. You have to have 1.75 pitch or the lugs won't screw on. It's getting hard to find lug nuts for the 97-99's, but they are out there. EBay has a number of them. Here is the direct link. Good luck.
