I just want to be sure but they are 1/2" studs on 3rd gen expos correct?
 












I was looking at these:

Another member chimed in and said they worked. Thanks for the help James!

One thing to watch (besides length of the stud) is what size is the nut on the outside.

Our Mustang is running 1/2 x 20 lug nuts that are 13/16th.. The Explorer and all the other vehicles are running 1/2 x 20 lug nuts that are 3/4".

Personally, I like the 3/4" nuts because there is more room between the nut and the center hub (nut well).

Just something to think about, especially if you will have a locking nut on there.. You don't want it to be a different size than the rest.

Good looking out. I will probably just end up going with whatever I can find that is locking here locally... No sense in stressing over lug nuts I just need something that works/keeps the wheels on cause that's all they are for!
