Need someone to verify these will work with steelies

[jdium]

I picked up a set of takeoff steelies with TPS for $150, but they did not come with center caps or lug nuts. From what I understand, the factory Lariat lugs I have won’t work?

the question is will these

Work with this 3D printed center cap:

I’ve got an idea of a concept for winter rims that aren’t just the same old silver steelies.

Unlike the OEM center caps, these seem to have "bumps" in the recesses to engage the lug nuts, this image I found shows the OEM steelie lug nuts, the lug nuts you show probably will not retain them.

Thanks. So I’m looking for lugs with the 30mm lip. I was hoping to find something besides the open ended OEM acorns. Do you or anybody happen to know the required thread depth needed if buying a closed lug?

I’ve found chrome and black close ended lugs with 30° seating angle and 30mm OD. Was hoping to find anodized blue but so far no luck.

The lug nuts' description mentions acorn seat (which would be wrong for a Maverick) while the drawing shows them being cone seat. So, one or the other is wrong.

And why does the center cap mention 'only compatible with 17" wheels'? The hub area on steelies should be identical regardless of wheel diameter

It looks like there isn't enough accurate info provided in the descriptions. It might work but you'll have to order the parts in order to be sure

No idea why they specify 17 inch rims only. The plan was to buy 1 and test fit.

I’m so lost on whether or not I need acorn (radius base) nut or a conical angled seat. Even google AI states “in summary, for your Ford Maverick steel rims, you'll need M14x1.5mm lug nuts with a 60-degree conical or acorn seat. “

Conical. People need to stop blindly trusting what AI spews out,,,,,,

People need to understand what “blindly trusting” means.

If I blindly trusted I wouldn’t be questioning the answer given…

Thank you for the information either way…

You can use the same lug nut as the 2017 Ford Edge on your truck, the Ford catalog crosses the OEM number to both vehicles, hope this helps.
