I just bought some used t type rims to put on my g body. The lug nut holes are flat meaning they do not have a bevel for the acorn style lug nut. Do I need a certain lug nut for these rims?

Those r aftermarket not factory Buick rims.
This is a pic of a factory rim see the lip on the center hole as well as the acorn style lug holes.

Either way it looks like you need a washer with those rims.

If I'm not mistaken, they should use this style, same as my 14" '80 442 rims. The washer is integral to the nut, and has a straight shank.
Hope this helps.

I don't think those are Vectors.

I believe the Vectors use the same factory style lug nut.

Unless of coarse they are an older model Vector
