New Lug Nut Pitch FYI

Not sure if this was posted here at all...Did a Search saw nada...Googled it and found out from the General F150 Forum that Ford in their infinite genius changed the Pitch of their 2015+ Wheel Studs from 14x2 to 14x1.5.

So when I started to mount my Black Rhino wheels from my 14 Raptor to my 17 of course the Lug nuts were useless...so that project has been scrapped until I can get new lugs in...which will be mid week and a total PITA since I had allocated the time for it today...GO FORD.

Hopefully this saves any other previous Raptor owners some time.

Yes this has been discussed in several threads and its in the owners manual.

Yeah, well, when I had searched nothing came up...so figured I would post to help save anyone/someone the headache.

Unless it says Warning New Wheel Stud Pitch in the Owners Manual I don't know why/how anyone would notice it there...

lol...that's AWESOME...did not know that...thanks very much. I actually found some slotted Gorilla lugs...black and all...that I had...but now I am dealing with my TPMS won't relearn...and after searching for and finding a lot of people dealing w/the Relearn vs. New Sensor Pairing...I could not get the sensors that worked fine on my 14 to sync up on my 17...so more research it is.

Different TPMS sensors on a 14 vs a 17. They will never work work each other.

LMAO...of course Right Eric...why wouldn't that be the case too...Oh my Lord...

I saw a bunch of conflicting posts in several forums about this...and I just called my tire guy at the local shop...he of course does not even see the 17s listed yet, but...says his computer shows the 15s and 16s being the same as the 14s with 315MHz...

Do you know what's what and have a part #?

Thanks Man.

Nah, they are different. Lots of guys have run into this on the non-Raptor 2015+ trucks. If you want to run you old wheels on you new truck, you need to put the 15+ sensors in the older wheels. I disabled the TPMS in my truck- **** all that noise.

These are the ones I used when I changed the wheels on mine. They worked perfect. And this was the best price I could find at the time. The uppers in the pic have silver stems. The lower 4 are black. Amazon
