I loved that movie..... but it is a trick question.

All the flanged nuts for steel wheels are 7/8. Anything else is anybody's bet.
Many of us have changed to 16" steel wheels.
Problem: If you buy them used, chances of getting good wheels is slim. The vehicles these were on were mostly farm or work trucks....
I bought 16 to get 13 usable and had them blasted and powder coated. If I had know how it would work out, I would have bought alloy.
New steel can be had, but the cost interval to get allow is marginal and you loose about 30# of unsprung weight.
