DaFruz Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Hello! I just bought a 2019 Edge ST that have the Black 21" wheel Ford offers for $995. In looking for black lug nuts to replace the chrome that came with, I found a set on amazon from McGard part 84527. My only issue is that the OEM lugs are a much wider cone. (Please see attached pics). I called McGard and they said this is the correct part. Is anyone else using these? Any Issues? It just doesn't appear to me that there is as much surface area covering the wheel. I do a lot of highway driving and don't want to see my wheels go flying off! Any help would be appreciated!

Sage Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 The difference between the two cones is a lot, I would not use those aftermarket ones. I believe that company is known to be good at what they sell, but. I know some other aftermarket companies believed the ST is just like the Sport models. I know my owners manual states the ST TQ for the wheels is 162lbs, is that the case for the Sport models, from what I understand, the TQ is less on the Sport models. Hopefully others on our forum will have better input. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmah Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 I used Ram truck lug nuts on my wife's 2015 Titanium. They look better than the tiny aftermarket ones https://www.ebay.com/itm/20-Pc-2012-2018-DODGE-RAM-1500-BLACK-OEM-TYPE-SOLID-LUG-NUTS-14x1-50-1709DBK/272485582375?hash=item3f71680627:g:EtoAAOSwa~BYbnBj:sc:USPSPriorityMailSmallFlatRateBox!81631!US!-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMiFo Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 I've been using McGard lugs on my '17 Fusion Sport since I got it late 2016, and they've been great (also had them on my now gone 2010 Focus for 4 years without issue). For the exact reason you are concerned about, I've always used the "Bulge Cone Seat" style, rather than the plain "Cone Seat" style you posted. These are their "Bulge" style: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't see those since they don't offer them in a kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaFruz Posted June 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 My ST manual also says 162 foot pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tronjo Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Just compared the PDF versions of 2016 Sport and 2019 ST manuals: both state 162 lb.ft, pages 323 and 341 respectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
