Suggest you carry a set of nuts appropriate for the steel spare. Also make sure you have a wrench for both nut types if they're different sizes.
Please understand that unless the left (driver) side has Left-Hand threaded wheel fasteners, those right-hand ones will want to work loose on the left. Just in the course of normal driving and maneuvering. Don't check just the right where it's curb side and might be easier access. The left is more likely to be loose.
Thanks. Both sides are right hand threads and the spare is on the curb side.
Where would I get set of lug nuts for these particular steel wheels? Would they have a step on them? There must be standard ones used for those with steel wheels and not aluminum?
Don't want to torque the nuts up too tight against the steel but I won't be going very far. But what if a person were hundreds of miles from home or a tire shop?
