SnowDrifter Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 heat? no. Corrosion and use? absolutely. 'Yota and several other MFRs are having issues with it. tl;dr 2 piece lug nut, swaged chrome cover on it. Cover fucks up, leaves you with the under lug nut. Not a required replacement but if you opt not to, keep a socket set and breaker bar in your car because the included lug wrench will NOT fit. ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDrifter Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Only on ones with the lug skins Matco makes special sockets for them because they'll mess up and be not 22mm, but 22.5mm for example. Intended for FCA (chrysler) stuff. Basically a loose socket. IIRC Ford got sued for it as well. That being said.. They're lug nuts. Just go look at them and see if the appropriate size socket fits ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassMunky Posted June 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 So when it swells does it stay the size or it goes back to the smaller size.

SnowDrifter Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Sometimes it's visually obvious, sometimes not. Typically what'll happen is they swell to a larger size. So the original socket won't fit. Might be the next American size up, or next metric size up, or an odd in between. Really could be anything. Then if the cap falls off (ford), it'll typically be a metric size smaller ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron36 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 I would change them ,if U get a flat you’ll be fucked, and I already changed my wife’s Escapes lug nuts with solid ones, it’s stupid what the manufacturers are doing, happens to pretty much all the car lines. Aftermarket offers a solid lug nut. 2022 Ford Maverick on 22’s Skar SK1500.1 on 4 Skar VD-8’s Mids Sundown Super tweeters, Skar TX 6.5 components on Skar SKM400.4 LC2 for audio control , XS Power D680 XS Series Extra Battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The craziest part to me is what manufacturers charge for a set of oem garbage 2 piece lug nuts, aftermarket solid ones are typically 1/3 the price or less than the oem junk.
