Default New 19mm Lug Nuts





OLD -vs- NEW:






All Done, shoeing right side only:




Believe it or not, the lug nuts are ~19mm, under the cover, so that makes them about 21mm
with those covers on. What happens, is heat, and rust, they swell up, and from taking
them on and off the cover gets damaged:

Bottom right, is with the top of the cover taken off. When this happens, the factory lug wrench doesn't
fit all the way over top of the lug. Then you're only on the end of it, and warping the cover even more.

I go with solid lugs, so that doesn't happen ever again.

ON 8/24/17 a class action suit was filed against ford for this: https://www.hbsslaw.com/uploads/case...-complaint.pdf

Same happened with my '07 Charger, so I had to replace all of them, and I used solid lugs.

Mine were beginning to not fit all the way into the lug wrench, so I changed them
out before it became the, hammer socket on lug, to get them off.
