OMIX 16715.04 Right Hand Thread Lug Nut for 46-86 Jeep Vehicles

Wheel hardware may be one of the smallest pieces of a vintage Jeep restoration, but getting it right matters every time the vehicle leaves the garage. The OMIX 16715.04 Right-Hand Thread Wheel to Hub Lug Nut replaces applicable 1941–1971 Jeep and Willys models equipped with right-hand threaded wheel studs. Whether you're replacing a single damaged lug nut or refreshing aging hardware during a larger wheel, brake, or hub service, this component helps keep the classic wheel attachment system intact and serviceable.

The right-hand thread configuration means this lug nut follows the familiar installation direction used on most modern wheel hardware, tightening clockwise and loosening counterclockwise. That's an important distinction on early Jeep and Willys vehicles because some applications used left-hand threaded hardware in certain wheel positions. Installing the wrong thread type can damage the stud, so confirming the existing hardware before installation is essential.

This version features a 13/16-inch hex for use with a 13/16-inch lug wrench. That detail matters, especially when servicing vintage Jeeps, since similar-looking replacement lug nuts can require different wrench sizes. Matching the correct thread direction and hex size keeps wheel service consistent, whether you're working in the shop, changing a tire on the roadside, or making a repair miles down the trail.

From carefully restored Willys models to classic CJs that still earn their keep off pavement, the OMIX 16715.04 Lug Nut offers a simple way to replace aging wheel hardware with an application-specific component. It is a small part with a decidedly important job: helping properly secure the wheel while maintaining the hardware configuration appropriate for your vintage Jeep.

Fitment Note: For applicable 1941–1971 Jeep and Willys models using right-hand threaded wheel studs and a 13/16-inch lug wrench. Early Jeep applications may use both right-hand and left-hand wheel hardware, and previous repairs may have changed the vehicle's original configuration. Verify thread direction, stud compatibility, and hex size before ordering or installation.
