nytherdarken Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Anyone know if there is an aftermarket replacement for the lug nuts on a 2010 SE 2.5L? The stock ones are capped and are garbage if you remove them more than once. I would be looking for something to hold on the wheel covers as the aftermarket ones I bought as a quick replacement do not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennisw Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I have had my lug nuts off my wheels at least 10 times for tire rotation and brake inspection and after 29,000 miles they look as good as new and they will more than likely last as long as the car. There are hundreds of after market lug nuts available look at any auto parts store. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusionff Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 The fusion lug size is 12mm x 1.50 pitch thread. I went with these Gorilla lugs on my truck, they are as solid as a rock. Here are 2 options, depending on what size socket that you want to use. I have no idea about the wheel covers though. 3/4 ---------->http://www.brandsport.com/grla-41138ht.html 13/16 ------>http://www.brandsport.com/grla-91138ht.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are hundreds of after market lug nuts available look at any auto parts store. I think the last time I had it at the dealer something happened to them. The stock tire iron stripped out after removing 4/5 of a wheel, so that also was problematic. I would expect them to last the life of the car, and I had since told Ford about it but they won't do anything. I know there are plenty of lug nuts that will fit on the car, but I specifically am looking for something that is not capped and would also have some sort of lip on it to hold on the wheel covers (preferably not by washer). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they will hold on the covers though...might need to try one out or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if the "shoulder" on the lug nut or the threads are the same, but Honda uses a hard rubber ring in their lug nuts to hold the wheel cover on like Fusion. You may want to check out those lugs, but I can't tell you where to get them other than the dealer. Maybe www.tirerack.com???? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Anyone find a good alternative? Ones with flared shoulder to hold the OE hubcaps on. The OE Dormans are $50/$70 yet are cheaply made. Here are the OE specs Thread Size: M12-1.50 Height Size: 1.48in HEX Size: 19mm Seat Style: 60deg The shop destroyed some of my lug nuts, and to add insult tried to sell me new ones. These nuts they put on newer cars are cheap. I'm not sure if the "shoulder" on the lug nut or the threads are the same, but Honda uses a hard rubber ring in their lug nuts to hold the wheel cover on like Fusion. You may want to check out those lugs, but I can't tell you where to get them other than the dealer. Maybe www.tirerack.com???? Toyota has some that are the same. I found an affordable aftermarket set online, but for Toyota; the specs are similar so maybe they will work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Ok, the Toyota fasteners are Flat seat style so they are not ideal (in fact may come loose). This is maddening, I can't find anything. All the 60-deg Conical style lugs do not have a shoulder design to hold the hub cap on. I hate you Dorman and Ford 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
