Finally, solid lugs that fit correctly!
What exactly is "taper?" And what is the taper of the stock DeLorean lug nuts and how do I know or measure the taper of a potential replacement lug nut? All of my OEM nuts were destroyed by an idiot exotic car "expert" with an impact wrench at 140+ foot pounds of torque so I had to buy all new ones from a tire shop in order to drive home. Long story. But I'm not sure if the taper is correct on the replacements. How do I know?

The lug nuts I have APPEAR to be the same taper (no way to measure) but the tapered portion appears to be a bit shorter. Will that be a problem?
