Finding the correct lug nuts
Finding the correct lug nuts
A few years back I put a later style 18" ford wheel on my F150, My truck is a 2011 and takes the 14 x 2 lug nut, So far the only ones I have been able to find are the long style nuts which have an overall length of 2.2", These long style nuts stick out too far for my liking and I really want a shorter nut, like the ones that are used with these wheels however the newer trucks use a different thread pitch...anyone else do this and have a solution
Thanks for the reply however the ones you are showing are open ended and they do not have the required large bulge like the originals, the second set you are showing are 2.2" long
I was aware the first ones were open end but knew they would be about as short as you could get. My apologies on the second ones as I had read it as 21mm to be the length. Here is what you are looking for...
1.38" Long

Right length but if you look at the bulge on the bottom where the lug nut seats against the rim these are small bulge and not like the original large bulge lug nuts, I believe these would work OK for steel rims but not the aluminum rims I have.
I do really appreciate the help and I have been searching , my last resort may be switch out all of the lug bolts to the newer (2015-present) M14x1.5 lug bolts so I can use the correct lug nuts but I am not sure the splined diameter on the bolts are the same...Oh well...my search goes on

And I thought the last link would be the one for you! It sounds as if you may be looking for a Unicorn! I will do my best to help...Apparently, I am slow to recognize the details but believe I got a grip on what exactly you are looking for now. And yes, I feel a bit stupid in retrospect.
Do not feel stupid, these adds for lug nuts seem to be all inclusive based upon very little information, I have already purchased one set only to wind up not usingh them because they do not have the wide bulge seat I need/want
