Replacing OEM lug nuts to avoid future swelling

[Jus Cruisin]

I replace all the parts on my entire truck every three years.

Ha ha, me too, if not sooner.

Does anyone have a model # or link to the correct black Gorilla lugs for the factory 20” wheels?

Thanks. I had ordered some from an EBay seller but they aren’t the same model #. The ones I ordered are 91148BC which are 1.40” tall vs 1.62” tall. Aside from that they are the same. I wonder if they will work?

I ordered the ones I linked for myself, I pick my truck up Wednesday, so I can’t confirm fitment.

Definitely want to see pics when you install them assuming you have the 20" sport wheels in your picture.

I also want to replace my factory lug nuts as my neighbor's Ford Fiesta nuts swole so bad, he was stranded on side of road because lug wrench wouldn't fit.

I was looking at some slightly longer lugs for my Lightning not long ago. Does anyone have some good recommendations on some longer, good quality chrome lug nuts for our Lightnings? I see these on Amazon but looking at the price, they seem too cheap? What do you guys think?

I bought a cheap set on Amazon for a 2012 F150. They worked, but I wasn’t real happy with them. The OD of the taper was undersized, so there was a very small part of the seating surface on the wheel exposed.

Did you notice this warning? It describes my issue exactly:

I’ve had good luck with Gorilla “OEM” style lug nuts. They seem identical in dimension to the stock ones. It is a common problem for aftermarket ones to have less contact area

I thought I'd buy them from Amazon and compare them side by side and you are 100 percent right. They ought to be ashamed to even sell these. I'm returning them asap. Thanks.

Gorilla 61148CX or 61148BCX are the part numbers for chrome or black

These look like the truth! I'm shopping these around for the best price. Thank you!

These look solid! Does Gorilla have some that are longer than 1. 65 inch? That is the same length as the factory. Nuts that sticks out more would look really nice against the Lariat/Platinum rims.

I don’t believe so - the 61148FS & 61148FSBC are the only other alternative that Gorilla lists as compatible. It gives a different look to the tip of the lug nut - but it’s still 1.65” long so it won’t stick out any further.
