Default Lug nuts

I found a stripped lug nut on my factory 20" fx2 wheels. Seems as if someone when way overboard with an impact tightening them when I had a flat. Does anyone know the correct size so I can replace it? Thanks.

Had to replace two lug nut studs on mine. Dealer slopped never seize all over studs and inside wheel where the lug nuts make contact. Should not be done. Way to easy to over torque. Found two that were stretched and narrowed. Had to clean all the lube off so l could correctly torque.

Also, studs on mine were different length front and rear.

If you're replacing one lug nut, replace them all if they are still OEM. Go with an aftermarket brand. I used whatever came with my aftermarket wheels, but any 1 piece lug nut should be fine.

The OEM ones are complete trash and will have you wanting to smash your truck with a sledgehammer. They are a 2 piece lug nut and rust from the inside, causing the outside to swell. They either will not fit the socket or get stuck after each lug nut. That is a great way to drive someone crazy

Swapped all mine out with Gorilla, per other's recommendations on this forum and couldn't be happier.

You need the factory bulge XL. That is the specific bulge for Fords. I bought a set and they fit perfect. The lesser bulge will not seat properly in Ford factory aluminum wheels.
