The size of the lug nuts on a Mustang/GT can be M14x1.5mm or 1/2″ – 20 UNF. If you get aftermarket rims installed, there’s a pretty high chance that you need new aftermarket lug nuts to fit. Most originally equipped lug nuts are not designed to be used on aftermarket wheels since the seat type, thread pitch, head size, and length could have changed. That is why we recommend purchasing a new Mustang lug nut kit to fit new aftermarket rims.
The “seat” refers to the area where the Mustang lug nut makes contact with the wheel insert surface. There are mainly three seat styles: conical seat, ball seat, flat seat, etc. The conical seat has a beveled 60-degree angled surface and it is the most popular type for aftermarket wheels. The ball seat is an inverted bowl-shaped seat. A flat seat (also called a mag seat) is a completely flat surface used with a separate gasket.
