Locking Lugs?

[RangerDangerStranger]

Understand that the Lugs on my XL with Apperance package (silver 6 spokes) are 12x1.25mm acorns. Can i use any Gorilla locking lugs over the several different types?

Hi Chris,

I think they are 12mmx1.5. Check your owner's manual on the last page of How to Change A Road Wheel....It gives the torque and the lug size.

Pretty amazing that they don't have an interactive selection available on their website to ensure you get the correct lock lug for your application?

Did you email them?

No, i didn't go to that level. All i can think of is there are too many possibilities, and IF they get it wrong, and there is an accident- then..
Specs are printed up for each one, and at this point i believe that acorn seat angle is a industry standard thing, So I'll have to do the leg work, looks like.
The ones with the collar spinners look near undefeatable,.

Hi Chris

The cone angle for Ranger is 60°

I emailed them and asked which of their lugs was correct. I'll let you know what their response is. Do you have the 6 spoke aluminum wheels like shown below?

That's great considering I have 2 61631Ns (8) arriving today. Thank you. Amazon said it wouldn't fit.

Hi Chris,

Yeah...I recommended Ranger replacement lug nuts that would work for another forum member but he declined as Amazon said they would not fit. I look at the lug nut specs and order accordingly, ignoring this Amazon "does these fit" clickable link. So many errors.

Have better lug nuts on order from Amazon for our new Lincoln Nautilus to replace the two piece POS Lincoln used on the wheels. If I tried to use the "does it fit" it would have vetoed this, but it indicated it fit the MKX, which was the precursor for the Nautilus.... I use the engineering specs to assess fitment.

Installed the Gorilla 61631N lock lugs today. Fit great and they blend in nicely.

Only cost about $20.
