lug size change

[cbass]

How many years did ford use the same diameter and pitch? Fucking metric. This is stupid. Buyer beware, your tire shop IS going to fuck up your install kit if you don't warn them that the 15's can't use the same lug kits, and you want wheels on the 15 that don't look like ford ordered them in bulk from a 2002 mille miglia catalog.

edit: thanks obama.

Sweet.

I would show them how to wear 3 shoes while the fixed my studs.

M14 x 1.5 on the 2015 cars. Guess they didn't want to scare the European with the 1/2" thread wheel studs when the cars are sold over there!


cheers

Are you guys crawling out from under a rock? The whole car is metric. Most of it was metric from at least 2005. There were only a handful of parts still SAE on my 2010 the rear end which was older than dirt and the wheel studs. With the new IRS that is metric so they changed the wheels studs too it is about time. The 14mm is way stronger than the 1/2" I wish they were a bit longer but I can change them if I have to.

win for the metric system.

There's a good example of why I never had an issue with going to metric. I remember the big deal made about it as a kid, then "well, what the hell happened with that plan?"

If your tires shop screws this up? Time for a new tire shop.

That is awesome! Try working in the oil patch up here and using both since half the stuff we use up here comes from the US!!

Love it, I would actually prefer we use the metric system because it is all so much easier to use.
