Unhappy Lug nut problem

I have a 2011 F150 Lariat 4X4 5.0 that had very dull 18" aluminum wheels that I wanted to up grade. I love the new 20" chrome mag wheels that come on the new 2015-2016 F150s so I purchased a set 2016s off EBay. As you know the lugs for the 2015 and 2016 have changed and are now size 14M X 1.5 where as my lug size is 14M X 2.0 large seat. I am presently using the lug nuts that came off my original wheels but they are not chrome and are opened ended. That is the size lug nut I need for the new mag except I can't find any chrome and close ended and the same overall length at about 1 to 1.2 inches. The mag requires a shallow or short lug nut. The only lug nuts I can find that are 14M X 2.0 Chrome closed end are 2" long which would stick out too much.


Can I find what I need without having to change the studs out


Thanks
David Wieniewitz

these lug nuts would fit but the overall length is too long. The mags on a 2016 F150 are only 1 - 1.4" but I have put mags on 2011F150. I need the size of 14M X 2.0 but a short length.

I'm in the same situation. Have a 2010 FX4 that has the aluminum Lariat 20" wheels. Bought the dark grey 2014 FX wheels. The shorter studs given were different thread pitch.

Did you find a solution or does anyone else have an answer?

I found short 14mm x 2.0 lug nuts through Gorilla. If you go eir site or a vendor with p/n 91108 and 91107 you'll find them. I found someone on eBay with a set of 24. It's a broken up set of 100. Hope that helps.
