Default Lug nut replacements

Brands, and size?

I think this is one that fits, but not sure,

Gorilla Lug Nuts Model 61148CX


I have a nice set that goes with my current wheels, but I would have to replace all the studs in order to use them. We all know just how bad the OEM ones are now!

Buy a set from this guy if he still has some: https://www.f150forum.com/f122/goril...6/#post5737214

Cheaper than I could find them elsewhere. Just a basic replacement.

Gorilla 61147CX - Chrome plated nut sold in a 4 pack and expensive. Gorilla will give out this number if you call technical support.
Gorilla 61148CX - Same one sold in a box of 40. This is the one resold on EBay and other places in individual quantities (typically 24). I just replaced the lug nuts on my truck and ordered from CJPonyParts

60 conical seat

Looking for longer ones, the stock ones don't work well with the wheels I have. The OEM lugs that were used for these on the 14 are longer than the ones on the 16.

Good luck. GMC to Ford says that the part number you gave is for a conical seat. You can't get more lug coverage with a conical seat, the coverage stops at the base of the cone and you get what you get.

You can get more lug coverage with a mag wheel nut though. Here's Gorilla's guide - http://www.gorilla-auto.com/lug-nuts

They are the standard lugs that come with the stock wheels. Those are stock OEM 20" wheels, but from a 2014 model. They are conical base, not flat. They look just like the gorrilla ones posted above, but I need longer ones, the ones posted are too short and a **** to install with these wheels.

I wondered if that's what you were looking for. I'd call them "taller" myself, not longer, but whatever. The Gorilla site gives all of the dimensions you need. 60 degree, total height, thread pitch and diameter. I'd rather browse the real numbers and find what I need than take a part number off of a forum. No offense to GMC to Ford. Trust but verify.

The part number given, 61148CX, is 1.62" tall, 21 mm head, 14 mm x 1.50. But there's another that's 1.95" tall. And it's got a rotating seat. But it's 3/4" head so you might need a new lug wrench too. Page 9. Good luck.

That sounds like what I am looking for. I'll check it out.

Checked CarID and they list the proper studs, 14 x 1.5, but all the lugs....14 x 2.0 SMH

Anyway, here is the lug from the 14 that matches the OEM wheels.
