Thread Pitch on Lug Nuts??
I have 2001 5.4 Expi with 17x7.5 stock rims. Getting new rims and chrome lug nuts....What is the thread pitch on the lug nuts I need to order, I believe its 14mm/1.5 or 14mm/2.0 not sure which...
Thanks!

ISSUE:
All 2000-2004 F-150 (excluding F-150 equipped with 7-stud wheels and the 7700 payload group) and Expedition/Navigator built on or after November 27, 1999 will have revised wheel stud and wheel nut diameters. The wheel studs/nuts will have increased thread diameter from 12mm to 14mm. This change will include revised wheels, center wheel ornaments, hubs, brake rotors, wheel nuts, and lug wrench (two piece design and 13 cm (5") longer).
ACTION:
The 14mm wheel nut will require a 21mm socket, instead of the 19mm socket used on the 12mm wheel nuts. The torque specification for the 14mm wheel nuts is 200 N-m (150 lb-ft). A TORQUE WRENCH MUST BE USED TO INSURE PROPER TORQUE IS ACHIEVED. The torque specification for the 12mm wheel nut will remain at 133 N-m (100 lb-ft).
NOTE: THE 14mm PARTS ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE WITH THE PREVIOUS 12mm PARTS.
M14x2.0 is correct for the 17"
