I just ordered a pair of 18x5 Forgestar D5. I was told my stock lug nuts won't work.

Where can I get the right ones ?

what is it that they will not take the stock?
Do they have 60 degree cone seats?

Can you measure the lug pocket as well as the width of the lug seat? This will help determine what you need.

Drop a phot also of a lug pocket.

Theyre in the mail. As soon as I get the wheels I'll post up close pictures.

The q&a on American muscle says stock ones won't fit

maybe the Gorilla 41148HT will. They are a little narrower without having to go to a splined lug nut.

CJPony sells them as a narrower lug that will work to replace the stock. Unfortunately, they will not fill the entire lug seat of OEM wheels so I would not suggest them to be used on OEM as they do. I think Gorilla rep said the same.

but they might work for you on your wheels.

Also come in black

Not sure if you need pass through, open ended lug nuts or not. Not a fan myself.

I had a couple threads on lug nuts that might be of interest

https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/th...utside-diameter-is-right.135561/#post-2790068

In the end, the stock lug nuts are about 1.2" diameter seats while the 41148HT are about 0.92" seat diameter. Not sure what the seat diameter is of the splined nuts. In some cases, they are the same 0.92" diameter as the small diameter I listed. Contact the desired vendor for actual size.

When you get your wheels, get a piece of clay and stick it into the unmounted wheel lug pocket to get an impression of the lug seat. You can then measure it.

An alternative is to put some black or colored sharpie on the lug seat of the stock lug nut and , by hand, mount the wheel. When you remove the lug nut, the sharpie will get removed from where ever the wheel's lug seat makes contact. You can then measure the diameter of the new wheel lug seat.

Having too small a lug nut when compared to the size of the seat is not good. Make sure you fill it. This is why several manufacturers indicated running smaller lug nuts that do not fill the seat is not advised. I have responses from Gorilla and McGuard in those threads.

In all cases, your lug nuts will have a 60 degree cone with 14mm x 1.5 threads.

Hope this helps
