Hopefully an easy one.
I have some steel rims to replace the standard alloys on my WJ, and was wondering if people just use the standard nuts, or should I find some others?
From swapping wheels on previous cars I know there can be different types (tapered/flat etc), but am unsure about what's best for my jeep.

the standard nuts should be fine.
Dont use nuts for steel wheels on Alloy rims as the steel will erode the alloy, hence alloy wheel nuts will be coated or have as well a collar.
plenty of wheel nuts out there for the jeep a simple search should be enough

My Micky Thompson Classic II wheels have steel inserts so my McGard chrome nuts aren't a problem. I think most Jeep wheels alloy or steel use the same nuts. Don't know if other alloys have steel inserts though.

Cheers, I'll give the standard ones a shot. Alloy wheel ones I've had on other cars have had inserts, but the standard jeep ones are much more like typical steel wheel bolts I've used.
