Ford Racing Wheel Lug
The wheel lugs are those large bolts that go through the wheel rim and secure it to the wheel hub. They are pressed into the hub from the inside so that they cannot be pulled out when tightened. These parts thread into the wheel lug, clamping the wheel rim between the hub and the nuts. It is important that all lug nuts are extremely tightened to avoid any problem on the road, or the wheel will come off. The nut is a type of hardware fastener with a threaded hole. This part is usually hexagonal to permit tightening with the wrench, although it may also be square, knurled, winged, or otherwise shaped. Along with the bolts, the nuts are designed to capture and fasten objects together, which in this case is the vehicle wheel. Though a number of many aftermarket alloy wheels are designed to accommodate your auto's original wheel lug nuts or bolts, others may require a new hardware. It may have something to do with as critical as the differences in the wheel's lug design or with something as simple as shorter lug heads to allow the wheel's center caps to fit. Always take notice to keep a set of your vehicle's original equipment lug nuts or bolts in the trunk just in case you need to use your factory spare tire, which must always be installed with the original equipment lug hardware. The Ford Racing brand carries different lines of wheel lugs for a number of applications, such as for the Mustang line and the T Bird lug nuts. The brand also carries the all-locking lug nut which includes 16 pieces ?-20 thread chrome cone seat lug nuts, 4 pieces chrome locking lugs, and 4 pieces chrome valve stems. More importantly, the pasts in the kits will fit almost any wheel around.
