re: Why left hand lug nuts?
I think the did it just to drive us nuts, not that it would be a long enough trip to worry about my tires coming off.
or are they already off? ![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)

That is slowly dying out the newer "hub piloted" wheels are all right hand thread. I think the Left hand thread was just to confuse people68F250 wrote:Commercial trucks today still use left & right hand threads on the front and rear wheels.
