Acorn bulge it the wider seat on left, acorn is on right. Both have 60 degree conical seat. If you are buying for aftermarket wheels you probably want acorn, but for OEMs you want acorn bulge because the acorns concentrate the clamping force over too small a surface area.
I think Gorilla uses the term acorn bulge. Some other brands call it acorn flare I think. I think McGard is a great brand, I don’t care what brand you get.
Anyone got a solid 1/2 drive deep socket the recommend? My torque wrench is 1/2in and I really don’t wanna buy another just for lugs. Quick google didn’t show any 12/in drive to 19mm or 3/4inch sockets for taking the lugs off. Stock lugs
Follow up to that^ does anyone who already has a set of gorilla know what’s size socket they need?
They are holding up fine. Have been having problems with wheel balancing after changing tires and a brake service. They've seen at least 4 wheel change cycles at 4 different places with who knows how good suckets and pneumatic pistols and they look like new.
That I don’t know the answer to but I assume the 2018 has the same ****ty lug nuts as my 2017. I’ve had a couple get crunched but luckily none have ever gotten stuck.
My girlfriend’s Focus SE is almost 7 years old now and has used the stock lugnuts from new (including 7 winters so far) and they are still as good as new.
But they have never been torqued with an impact gun as she has a second set of wheels and I took care of every single seasonal change. Might have seen an impact gun only 3 times everytime they changed the clutch on the Powershift piece of crap transmission!
I guess that helps or we got lucky! My RS didnt come with the stock nuts (second owner) so I’ll never have to deal with it on the RS!

Mine definitely got crunched from an impact at the dealership. I was taking the lugs off one day and could barely get the lug wrench on about 3 of them cause they were warped. Never used them since. Plus, aftermarket lugs can be pretty cheap

Stock ones are expensive too! I asked the parts department when I got my RS and they were like 6$cad each! Ended up buying some black Gorilla nuts instead for about half the cost. Kept the aftermarket ones that came with the car for winter duty.

Yup, they are! I had to buy a couple also and then realized they were so terrible lol so now I have a nice aftermarket set for summer and a crappy aftermarket set for winter. Still better than OEM!

Just replaced the OEM ones with the black set (going to get the chrome when the winter wheels go back on). These had the correct seat like the OEM lugs but not made of the crap outer metal the OEM lugs have. Really happy for someone not looking to save a minuscule bit of weight with aluminum. Put a bit of paper towel inside the socket so I didn't scratch em. Black finish matches the finish on the wheels really well. Also their customer service was really great.
SO I loaded the rental with my new set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 in 245/35R19 size to mount on my new RS.
It was sorta of a mess there in PA & didn't want to chance it on the roads with those summer/track tires on cold roads for the 6-hour trip home.
Surprisingly, these tires are just as...
I realize not as good as the MPSSs, but for highway driving probably adequate. I've used these before on different cars and they performed adequately - esp. considering the price...
Hello has anyone ran 235/40r19 on their stock wheels at stock height. I just purchased the car and I'm not opposed to the larger diameter. I just want to know if they fit without rubbing. I searched and there was no definitive answer.
