Our '95 has the Ford factory steel wheels (chrome tri-spoke), and our '01 Sport has the factory aluminum wheels.
My question is: Are the lug nuts the same? I'm talking about the angle/bevel of the lug nut, the part that actually comes in contact with the rim.
Are these angles the same?
This is almost never a concern unless I put a spare on the ground. The spare for the '95 is aluminum, and the spare for the '01 is steel, I believe.
By the way, I usually lube this surface before I torque. I hear some pops and snaps during the torquing process If these surfaces are dry.
