Re: Uneven tire wear
lug nuts shouldnt matter if the size heights are different.. just matters that they fit properly and secure the wheel to the hub.
have you pulled the lugs off to verify they are different sizes?
could be one or two have loosened up and your just seeing the height difference.
you can check if your hubs are bad by lifting the front up and grabbing a tire at the 12 and 6 oclock position and try lifting up and down. you might need a 2x4 or something to help lift the tire up if its heavy.
iirc.. if you get any play more than 1/4 of an inch, the hub is bad... but i think the general rule around here is if you get any movement at all, just replace the hub(s).
If you are just worried about the lug nuts, i would simply buy replacement ones. maybe the previous owner broke a stud, and the original lug wouldnt fit on the new stud, so they put on one that was longer...
