Be aware that some of these wheels listed above ( i.e mustang)
have larger bolt holes than the Tiger/Alpine. Also the taper of the Tiger
/Alpine lug nut is sharper than the taper on the Mustang lug nut
and therefore the Tiger lug nuts don't fit the taper around the
hole on the mustang wheel very well. Likewise, most aftermarket
lug nuts have a shallow taper that does not fit the taper in the
stock Tiger wheels. The miss match will work, but you can
mess up the tapers around the holes. Be sure to check lug nut
tightness on a regular basic if you do the miss matched tapers
and hole size. ( assuming steel wheels here)
