These the proper lug nuts?

[VegasRanger]

I’m looking to switch to black lug nuts, but wanted to check with the experts here to make sure these are the correct size as the ones that come with our trucks. I’m big on safety and don’t want my wheels falling off! Thanks!

It's the right size but you'll need 24 of them.

As Dan said diameter and pitch are good, but they don't look deep enough to me. You may not get seating pressure without blowing the caps.

Also to note that is really cheap for lug nuts. If they're too cheap, the steel will be soft and coating thin, leading to early rust.

McGard are my choice, Gorilla have a following as well.

I’ve read that those are no good. They don’t have that 60 degree cone that’s needed from what I understood

Was gonna say, get McGards or don’t get nothin. Jeg’s has the best price IMO. Pricier, heavier, lifetime guarantee.

You've heard these McGards aren't good?

I took that link from another thread on here and put it in my to do list. I'm sure it was a member who said they had bought that set, and they worked great, which is why I took the lazy link, instead of checking specs myself. They appear correct, and note as coned seating. What was the bad you heard?

I've had McGards on 3 other vehicles, never a complaint.

Yeah I read that on here actually by the gentlemen that used to be a Ford engineer. I will see if I can find the thread again and I’ll post it.

Thanks, that is interesting. I didn't even notice the McGards don't have a flared seat, even they are the correct seating angle.

I got black gorilla on my rig. Gorilla Lug Nuts, 12mm x 1.50 Thread, Bulge Acorn, Black, 12x1.5, 91138BC

These use the whole 60 degree face and are deep enough for our studs

Edit: they now make 3/4 or 13/16 hex sizes. Ford is 3/4. It’s a different part number then what I posted

Yeah I am glad I read that because I actually had ordered those McGards and then immediately canceled my order after reading that

Are these one piece nuts or two piece like the OE ones?
