Wheels and lug nuts

[Gary]

My current 2005 GT has standard wheels. Just paid way too much for the optional wheels. Question; are the lug nuts the same. If not how can i acquire correct ones?

I use the same nuts on both the base and optional wheels. I was able to purchase the nuts from my local Ford dealer.

Yes, they are normal Ford part. 1/2" by 20 I think for thread size

The Base wheel's lug nuts are open, and kinda unattractive which is OK since they get covered by the large center cap; the Upgrade wheel's lug nuts are 'closed' meaning capped so the lug can't be seen, and the lug nuts have a nice shiny finish since they can be seen. I haven't tried the Base nuts in the Upgrade wheels but in pretty sure they'll fit ... but won't look very good ... of course with beauty being in the eye of the beholder who knows maybe you will like the steam punk / Mad Max look

The stock nut for the base wheels is an open nut.
I was thinking the upgraded wheel used a closed acorn nut, as they are exposed, unlike the base wheels which are covered by the larger center cap.
While the open nuts should work, they have an "unfished look" and leave the ends of the wheel studs exposed.

Great Jeffs think alike!

Are the capped lug nuts that came with the optional wheels available? Part #?

You can find them eBay. Just search for Ford GT supercar.

Lug nuts are made by Dorman I believe. Supplier to OEM's. They make a one piece and two piece lug nut.
You really don't want the two piece lug nut. They tend to fail over time and can be difficult to remove.

Not in the vicinity of my car to verify these are the correct length, but I think they are. They do make shorter and longer versions.
