You have your opinion on why you should buy the entire package and I have mine as to why I chose to save $200. I felt your comment as to why I should have spent the $400 was unnecessary and lost my cool. My apologies, people can decide for themselve which way they want to go.
AS Zooks527 mentioned I could have spent $400 for the package that gives you everything rather than piecemealing a tire, jack and spacer costing me $217 all in. You would think I would since I am 70 years old and perhaps I will have to spend a few extra minutes putting on the spacer in the...
I have Brembo brakes on the front and just went through the experience of getting a spare tire. First, if you have Brembo brakes you are going to need a 2" wheel spacer to get the factory spare to fit over it; I tried the space-saver spare on the rear wheel and it seemed to fit ok and did not...
I have a 2018 GT with all the options you mentioned and have only had one problem with one of the strut mounts which the dealer fixed although that was a chore to get him to find the problem. I have never had any trouble with the 10-speed auto but I don't beat on it too much. When I put it in...
Yes, these are exactly the nuts I purchased from CJ Pony parts; 41148HT. I tried to return them to buy the correct nuts but it has been more than 60 days since I purchased them and they will not take them back, even though I want to purchase a more expensive set. Perhaps now that I know that...
On the Gorilla nuts I just bought the diameter at the widest point is .87". Your measurement of 25mm is .98" (almost exactly what I got when I measured my wear pattern on the original Ford lug-nuts). To me, that is a big enough difference to not use the smaller nuts, that's approximately 11%...
I'll put the new lug nuts in the seat again but I did that before and I'm sure they did not fill it completely that's what got me worried and why I started this thread. I'm not sure I believe that the lug nut in the picture of post #12 only contacts to where he has the arrow pointing. When I...

I agree with you and the Gorilla guy. I'm not going to use the smaller ones as they do not fill the lug seat and the possibility of destroying 4 wheels is just not worth it. Thanks
I recently bought some 3/4" Gorilla one-piece lug nuts to replace the 2-pice 13/16 junk that comes with the Mustang. When I receive them I notice the reduced diameter of the lug nut significantly reduces the surface area that the nut has to contact the wheel seat. I'm now worried that the...
After two years I purchased a new drain plug but all I really needed was the o-ring on the plug. When I measured the outside diameter of the new and old o-rings, while on the drain plug, the new one measured 12 thousands of an inch bigger, not sure if the old one was worn or the new one was...
