Ok, I just got my DSE front sub frame and realized I don't have any lug nuts to install my wheels.....I went online to order a set, and came across Monster Lug. I figured I'd give them a try, but when selecting the size, my options are 14x1.5 thread, or 1/2" thread. Every application chart I find online says the Cadillac, Corvette, etc. are all 14x1.5 thread, which would be applicable since the DSE uses the C6 components. However, I think I need 1/2" - 20. Normally I'd just pick up the phone and call, but it's Sunday and I figured someone on the forum might have an answer. Thanks for the help!

Well, upon further review, it looks like my rears are 17-4 stainless 1/2" - 20 srew-in studs. The fronts are a different thread pitch, so I need to change them out if I want all 4 corners to be the same. Bummer.....

Ron - you don't happen to know if the Corvette hubs are press-in, or screw-in do you? They look like press-in studs.

Dave - yes most ford 9 rears (i.e. Moser, etc) is 1/2x20. Press in studs on the GM hubs IIRC.
