I just bought new front rotors for my S-10 but my long wheel nuts that I had dont fit on the studs? Are they metric? or what size are they and what type of nuts should I get, I dont want the ones that rust as soon as you put the impact gun on them, I need good quality long nuts for my drag truck. They seem to be a weird size?

They parts house probulby gave you the wrong set of rotors. - LEt me explain. S10 and the g-bodys use 90% same parts. The front rotors are intechangable. The older than 84 gbodys use 1/2 20 studs. The 84 (split year)and newer use 12x1.50. maybe 1.25.(metric anyway) All s10\'s from 82 up use the metric.
More than likley they were out of the correct part number and cross referenced and you got the wrong ones.
