Did you buy the Dorman, and if so how have they been? If you did not buy Dorman what did you go with and how have they done for you? sorry for the late reply. i haven't been on the forum as much lately. i eneded up buying the Gorilla 61148FS - LUG NUTS; FACTORY BULGE LUG 13/16" 14-1.50 CHR i ordered some gorilla nuts but they were the wrong size on the tapered part. thread size and socket size were fine but the conical tapered part was fine. it seems that the "bulge" designation is important. i've had them for about a year now and have changed tires 3x and they seem fine. i'm 100% satisfied.

enigma-2 Posted December 25, 2024 Report Share Posted December 25, 2024 (edited) Don't have the problem on my 2009 MKX, but if i did, I'd just buy a 21.5 mm socket (what it was designed for) and let the OEM nuts swell. Here's one example of a 21.5 mm impact socket.
