Hi guys,
I ordered a set of black lug nuts, which were supposed to be compatible to 2019 Mustangs, so I assumed they should work on 2020 as well. But I guess Ford changed the design in 2020, because here's how they look versus my OEM ones:
Left: new nut (2019-compatible). Right: OEM nut (2020)
The thread is the same, the angle of the cone is the same, the overall length doesn't bother me, but what really worries me is the height of the cone. It's obvious that the OEM nut has a bigger contact surface.
So, I guess they wouldn't be safe to use with my wheels, would they?
Normally I would consider them incompatible and throw them away, but what keeps me from doing that, and made me start this thread, is that I see such short-coned lug nuts offered for the 2020 MY as well. For example here:
https://www.steeda.com/gorilla-26143bc-s550-black-lug-nut-kit
I trust Steeda. If they say those lug nuts are compatible with any S550, including the 2020 MY, then that's most likely true.
So, before I throw these away, can you please confirm whether they would be safe to use, considering the difference that you can see in the pictures?
Thank you.
