If you’re the proud owner of a Ford GT supercar, you know that every detail matters when it comes to performance and safety. One often overlooked but crucial component is the lug nuts that secure your wheels. Getting the right size lug nuts and understanding proper torque specifications is essential for keeping your GT’s wheels firmly in place at high speeds.
In this post, we’ll cover everything you need to know about Ford GT lug nut sizes, sockets, and torque specifications. We’ll also make the case for why BONOSS aftermarket forged lug nuts are the premium upgrade for your GT.
Ford GT Lug Nut Size
The lug nut size (thread size) for the Ford GT is M14x1.5. This means the nuts have an outer thread diameter of 14mm and a thread pitch of 1.5mm between the peaks.
Ford GT Lug Nut Socket Size
To properly tighten or loosen your GT’s lug nuts, you’ll need a 21mm hex socket. This socket size fits snugly over the flat sides of the lug nut to provide the necessary grip.
Ford GT Lug Nut Torque Specifications Equally important as having the right size socket is tightening the lug nuts to the proper torque specification. For the Ford GT, the factory lug nut torque is 150 Nm or 111 ft-lbs. Under-tightening can lead to unsafe wheel separation, while over-tightening can cause stud damage.
