I just won some 2002 FX-4 wheels on ebay, and now I'm starting to wonder what I'm going to use lug nut wise. I'm not sure what style of lug nuts they use, and the factory ones will not fit my lugs of course. So, now I'm stuck with what to do. My factory lug nuts are the dull greyish black open ended style(ugly) and I would like to use some presentable ones. Does anyone make aftermarket lug nuts to fit the 12mm factory lugs, that are still able to keep the Ford washer seat design?? I guess I'm just freakin over this, cause I'm not sure what type of lug seat the new wheels use. The Ford 99 Lightning lugs are like $8 each I've heard, NOT an option. What do I use guys, and where would I buy them? HELP!,,,,98

Roush covers?? WIll they fit???

 

I thought the hole patern from 98 to 02 has changed. I'm probably wrong, wouldn't be the first time.
What do the wheels look like? Pics?

 

The bolt circle is the same, just the lug size has gone 2mm larger. At least I hope? I have access to some spacers that will close up the gap, just need 12mm dressup lug nuts for the new wheels. Covers will be fine, as long as I know for sure they'll fit and not fly off while I'm driving.,,,,98

They look like this!

 

sweet looking rims!

 

Hey 98, wanna trade rims?

 

Great looking rims 98'. I was going to get those before I decided on my current ones. Be sure to give us some pictures after the install.

PS: What happened to the black rim idea you had been planing?

Might still paint these black, or black powdercoat? That would look tough, eh?,,,,98

 

its all a matter of taste, but personally id leave them just like that

 

Use a 99 Lightning lug nut.


oops, i just read that you dont want to have to pay for them

 

'98, jefflaws, do you guys know where I can find some 12MM locking lugs? McGard or Gorilla don't have them, my local ford dealer can't seem to find a part #s. Trying to find locks for '00 Lightning wheels I just put on my '99 FS.

'98, I really like those FX wheels. I bought a used '01 Screw the summer. Guy traded it for a '02 FX4 and didn't like the FX wheels so the dealer swapped wheels putting the FX wheels on my '01. Go figure, I lucked out on that deal.

 

Hey 98,,,,,I have 02 L wheels as you know, and I just put on some Acorn style lug nuts and they work great. They are even chrome and got 2 locks that look like regular nuts on each wheel and have had no problems.

 

I am willing to pay for them, I'm just not willing to pay $160 for them. There's a BIG difference there, man. Would you pay that much?? My friend sells wheels in Houston, I guess I'll ask him when I get home tomorrow.,,,,98

 

Again.....no comment......

 

Thanks!

I'm finally back home, and I'm going over to my buddies shop to see if has some that will work with them. I'm also going to look for covers. A few speed shops around me, plus a million wheel dealers also. Maybe I'll get lucky?,,,,98

 

98' Your back in Houston?? If so I am looking for some chrome lugs for my wheels. Keep your eyes peeled.
