Yes, I'm sure that they are imperial thread & jeep can supply

I found jeep dealers to be expensive. Last time I bought mine from racing green. Prefer them in black.

Clever Trevor are advertising SS wheel nuts. Not seem them though.

They are unc thread which is a metric thread although annoying. I have some crossed threaded studs that I need to replace and have a tap and die to correct them as a temp measure

Don't understand this - they are NOT "metric" threads, UNC / UNF is a completely different system - you can't re-tap one to the other (although it probably looks like you can, but the threads will be as weak as hell, and wheels falling off is funny in a circus ring but not so much fun when you're trying to avoid skating into the scenery.)

I bought Jeep Cherokee alloy bolts on the 'bay. They weren't in the "brand new mint condition" as described, but still a lot better than the originally-black, now-rusty ones on the car).

its more to correct them to make it easier to remove as they are extremely tight when i last took them off, i haven't done them yet but have ordered new studs any way so more than likely change them before to long once they are delivered.

As for the unc reply just got in from a club so was a little on the pissed side, but yes they are a complete different type of thread from america, bit of useless information but bowling machines use a lot of unf fasteners.
