Are there any cars with six lugs or any trucks with four?
I think I have seen about any others.
Cars 3, 4 and 5
Trucks 5,6,7,8,10

Unique number of lugs

Some mid 60's large Pontiac's had 8 lug.
My Sedona minvan has 6-lug wheels. The GM minivan from the 90's/00's also had 6-lug. Overkill for those applications for sure.
I think Vipers had 6 lugs. Also the CTS-V from 04 to maybe 07 or 08 were 6 lug.
French cars like 3 lugs
I saw a guy driving on one lug the other day. I'm sure it had 4 or 5, but there was only one lug nut on the left rear. You should have seen it wobbling down the road. I saw his face once and you could tell he knewsomething was amiss. We finally came to a stop light... 'Hey!! Your wheel is about to come off.' Foreign guy, he kinda waved me off. I think he knew, and he was just trying to get it some where that sold lug nuts or something. That sort of thing probably isn't out of the ordinary where he comes from.
bvance,
I wonder is that how they got the Griswold Family Truckster to wobble after Clark launched it in the desert.
It was pretty neat to see the wheel 'gyrate' like that. Kind of like when Elaine was enamored by the stack of tires spinning in that one episode.
Cool stuff!

The later Cadillac DTS limo/funeral type cars have eight lugs I believe.

THey could have put washers behind the lug studs then reapplied the lug nuts, but I think they just found some junk rims and mauled them with a hydraulic ram.
You notice later on when they "drop off" Aunt edna that the wheels aren't as comically bent as they were in the desert.

Porsche 959, Carrera GT & 918 have 1 wheel lug
This is why you basically never see them with custom wheels

Yep. We had a 62 Grand Prix that had 8 lug rims. I remember my pops working on it when I was a little kid. Remember the very distinctive brake drums on it also.

If everyone else was using 3 lugs, the French would use 2.
