HI Corey,These have the correct seat and thread size/pitch, but one will give you another 4 or 5 threads over your wheel studs.
So regular spline drive or extended thread spline drive?
Nope! Do not use.... The 60° bearing area is not wide enough to duplicate the OEM lugnuts. This has been discussed so many times before....do not make this mistake...

Hi Phil,
Sorry I forgot to mention they are for aftermarket wheels. This is the correct taper and design for the new wheels but they never specifically said to go with regular thread or ET (extended threads). Curious but leaning towards regular thread. Google searching is showing ET's on old model trucks that had thin steel wheels and swapped to newer aluminum wheels and the studs weren't long enough.
Probably solved my own question.

Unless ford decided to change studs between an xl with steel wheels to any other model with aluminum wheel I promise the studs are the same across the board. Also as long as the new wheels are hub centric and/or have a hub ring to help center then you will be fine with the factory lug nuts as long as the new wheels have a big enough bore for the lug nuts.
