Top selling nuts and boltsFord vehicles use a variety of wheel nuts depending on the model, year and wheel type fitted. Choosing the correct Ford wheel fixings is essential for safety, correct wheel fitment and MOT compliance.
This guide explains standard Ford wheel nut specifications, when replacement is recommended, and how to find the correct fixings for your vehicle, including when aftermarket alloy wheels are fitted.
Ford is one of the UK’s most popular vehicle manufacturers, with a wide range of passenger cars and commercial vehicles using different wheel fixing designs across models and generations.
Ford passenger vehicles use wheel studs with separate wheel nuts, while exact specifications vary, common Ford wheel fixing characteristics include:
Thread size: M12 × 1.5
Seat type: Tapered (60° cone seat)
Spanner size / HEX: Typically 19mm or 21mm
Fixing type: Wheel nuts on studs
These are general guidelines only. Fitment can vary depending on:
Vehicle model and year
Factory vs aftermarket wheels
Stud length and nut design
Always confirm compatibility before purchasing replacement wheel nuts or bolts.
Wheel nuts are safety critical components and should be replaced if they show signs of wear or damage. Common reasons for replacement include:
Corrosion or swelling
Rounded or damaged edges
Stripped or stretched threads
Difficulty tightening or loosening
Changing to aftermarket alloy wheels
Loose, damaged or incorrect wheel nuts or bolts can result in an MOT failure. Examiners check that wheels are securely fastened and that fixings are appropriate for the wheel type.
Replacing worn fixings helps ensure:
Correct clamping force
Safe handling and braking
Reduced risk of vibration or wheel movement
If your Ford has aftermarket alloy wheels fitted, it is very common for different wheel nuts to be required.
Aftermarket wheels may need:
A different seat type
Longer or shorter fixings
Slim or tuner-style wheel nuts for recessed holes
Using standard Ford wheel nuts with aftermarket alloys can lead to poor seating and potential safety issues. Always check compatibility before installation.
Some of the most commonly purchased wheel fixings for Ford vehicles include:
