    allright im buying some new lugs for my truck so ill finally have a matching set. Im getting a set of chrome procomp lugs but need help with the size. 20 x 14 1.5 are the numbers, and can someone tell me what the 14 stands for and will it work for my 97?

    14mm is the size of stud it fits. the studs on your truck are 14mm. and if im not mistaken only acorn style nuts will work on oem wheels

    Your studs should be 12mm Actually they switched to 14mm around 99 or 2000 I think..

    And im thinking you do NOT use acorn style lugs with OEM wheels.. OEM use the flat washer style lugs iirc

    Hmm alot of aftermarket rims use acorn style lugs but being steel IDK.. Best thing to to is look at the rim if its flat use a washer style lug.. If it has like bowls where the lug goes then use acorn style
