Amazon- Torqued down just fine. Looks OEM and better than chrome.

*edit 4/21/25 - after a couple tire rotations, I've noticed the finish isn't as durable as I'd want. Starting to see a bronze color underneath where the socket has rubbed the lug nut. So I'd go with something different.

I have a set of the ones linked below that have been installed on our Bronco for a year now. They're holding up great. They're also a single solid piece which solves the issue of Ford and other 2 piece lug nuts swelling which makes it a pain to get sockets on and off.

Just purchased!

Thanks for the explanation and link, that was very helpful- (unlike the other guy above who didn’t answer any questions and just posted a single word “Amazon”)

does the Ranger Raptor use the larger wheel lugs that the bronco raptor does, or the smaller one that also supports aftermarket wheels?

To be fair, he posted the direct link to what he bought on the word Amazon...

What torque spec you guys doing your wheel lugs on your Raptors? 110 or 147 ft/lb?

I guess it's because Amazon says they don't fit the Ranger. Are you sure these are deep enough to fully seat the wheel?

100 lb.ft according to manual.

Interesting. When I purchased, it had the green box saying "These fit your 2024 Ranger". Even had that yesterday when I last looked. Now they do not. I did compare OEM and these side by side and they look identical other than color, obviously.

Well if they are the same size then that's all that really matters, but a good test is snugging them with the wheel off to measure the depth. Same or deeper = good to go.

Hopefully. lol. we have factory style. can't find any in 12x1.5 that are locking like the gorilla with "factory style bulge"

Factory lug nuts have more contact surface area than aftermarket lugs, about 30-40% more.

Amazon doesn't get everything right. It will also tell you that micro II and III fuses don't fit the Ranger ?‍
