Swollen Lug Nut Replacement

Reviving this thread to ask straight-up...
I've just bought a 2013 Ford PIU with steel wheels, the nice-looking metal center caps, so I need the nuts with the retaining ring - anybody have a recommendation for a closed, 1-piece lug nut that's the right size (1/2" x 20 Thread Size, 13/16" Hex Size and 1.5" Overall Length if I'm not mistaken)? I found these but I don't believe that they're the right size. Thanks in advance everybody!

Nope, those are 12x1.5mm, won't fit

Man, that sounds painful!

No kidding, swollen nuts must hurt like hell!

This is what I used for my Winter setup on my previous 2017 Explorer Platinum. I believe you're talking about the same ones. Unfortunately I don't have them anymore but I did get the lugnuts through my Ford dealer.

Just seeing what others have replaced their lug nuts with. Is there anything available that will not swell?

I have a base model 2013 4WD

When I bought my PIU steel wheels from the recycle yard for my 2015 Sport, I requested they provide the OEM nuts that came off the vehicle. The ones I received have the large retaining ring for the center cap and are NOT a 2-piece covered nut. According to the yards records, the wheels were removed from a 2013 PIU.
