the lugs that are the standard ones for a 620 so the threading is right , but the bevel is to small so what i need is a lug nut with the same threading but a bigger over all diameter . There are several guys on here the are running the same rim I am just wondering what kind of lugs they used

Pussies! I was changing water heaters out at 116 degrees in Mesa when I lived in Hell, oh, I mean, PHX area. You want to talk hot, that's hot. And humid.

 

On those wheels, there are three types of lug nuts. Steel wheel acorns, mag lug nuts (two sizes of shanks), and kinda roundish seat lug nuts. You probably need those to fit Chevy? Z71 wheels, but the problem with that is they don't make those lugs in 12x1.25 which is standard Datsun lug pitch.

 

You have a few options. Find a similar Nissan/Datsun mag wheel you like, get the nuts for that car to work on the Z71 wheels. OR, replace all the wheel studs on the 620 with Chevy pitch standard lugs. You can get these in a variety of sizes, you may have to neck them down on a lathe.

 

I'm sure there are other options....Bueller?

You need Acorn bulge lug nuts. Go visit your local reputable tire shop. Not the corner crap shop.
