Dorman - Autograde Wheel Lug Nut P/N:611-053.1
Swap out a swollen, hard-to-remove factory lug nut with the Dorman wheel lug nut, part number 611-263, a one-piece, carbon steel flattop nut built as a Dorman OE FIX for a failure-prone two-piece original. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2005-2009 Chevrolet Equinox, 2016-2025 Chevrolet Malibu and 2006-2009 Chevrolet Impala, at both front and rear wheel positions. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
On certain vehicles, the original lug nuts use a two-piece design with a thin veneer cover. Repeated use can damage that veneer, and moisture that gets underneath can make the cover bulge. The nut can then be difficult or impossible to remove, and removing a stuck nut usually means damaging the wheel. This Dorman Autograde wheel lug nut is designed to match the original's fit and function. It uses a single piece of carbon steel in place of that construction, intended to help keep the same problem from happening again.
Specifications: This Dorman wheel nut has an M12-1.50 thread, a flattop style, a 19mm hex and a 35.9mm length.

What does a wheel lug nut do?
A lug nut threads onto the wheel stud to hold the wheel against the hub. The 611-263 has an M12-1.50 thread, a flattop style, a 19mm hex and a 35.9mm length.
Why are these Dorman lug nuts one-piece instead of two-piece?
Some original two-piece nuts have a thin veneer that can bulge when moisture gets under it. The one-piece carbon steel 611-263 has no veneer, so there is no cover to swell.
Does it fit the 2016-2025 Chevrolet Malibu?
Yes. The 2016-2025 Chevrolet Malibu is a listed application, along with the 2005-2009 Chevrolet Equinox and 2006-2009 Chevrolet Impala. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for your vehicle.
What are signs a lug nut may need replacing?
Signs include a bulging, peeling or swollen cover, a nut that no longer fits the lug wrench properly, and damaged threads.
How should the lug nut be installed?
Thread it onto the stud by hand first. Then tighten it to the torque value and in the sequence given in your vehicle's service information.
