The great Ford lug nuts! Replacements?

[RR Green Machine]

Has anyone found a good replacement for what I am sure are the two piece lug nuts on the Ranger Raptors? I had a 2018 F150 Raptor that after a visit to the tire shop for a new set of shoes, most of the lug nuts had to be cut off with a hole saw. Nothing is perfect I get that, I just wish the Discount Tire guys would have said…hey by the way, you will not be able to get ANY of your wheels/tires off if you end up with a flat. I have not done much digging, other than to know the lug nuts are not the same, as they are smaller than my previous 150-Raptor. The hole saw was pure magic, if anyone needs a solution for their F150.

My focus had the same issue. The outer shell swells up and then it doesn't fit well in any size tire iron.

I'm not sure if the ranger uses them, I really hope not. They were a PITA

Just had to beat a socket onto one of the crap OEM two piece plug nuts on my 4K mile Mach1. You can probably count on one hand the number of times the lugs can be removed and reinstalled.

CJ Pony Parts had a reasonably priced replacement lug nug set for my Focus. They probably offer a good set for your mustang...hopefully also for the ranger soon if we can confirm Ford used the worthless hardware once again.

Here's a couple of options I used for my Bronco. Gorilla makes special OEM sized replacement lugs for use with factory wheels. The small diameter lugs are designed for aftermarket wheels.

Had this happen on my Focus as well. 19.5mm with a little force was able to fit and remove the bad nuts on it. I got replacements for it on Amazon that are still working perfectly to this day for like $20. I'm sure there are lots of sets for our trucks on there as well. M12x1.5 appears to be the size, just need the correct seat angle (likely 60°).
