If you own a Ford Aspire, one of the essential maintenance tasks is ensuring your lug nuts are properly tightened and in good condition. But before you can tackle that job, you need to know the right size thread and socket to use for your Aspire’s lug nuts. In this post, we’ll dive into those details and also explore why BONOSS aftermarket lug nuts are an excellent choice for your Ford Aspire.
Thread Size for Ford Aspire Lug Nuts
The lug nuts on Ford Aspires have a thread size of M12 x 1.5. This means the nuts have a major diameter of 12 millimeters and a thread pitch (the distance between consecutive threads) of 1.5 millimeters. Knowing this thread size is crucial when purchasing replacement lug nuts or checking that your existing ones are the correct specification.
Socket Size for Ford Aspire Lug Nuts
To properly loosen or tighten your Ford Aspire’s lug nuts, you’ll need a socket that matches their head size. The lug nuts on the Aspire have a 19mm hexagonal (six-sided) head, so you’ll want a 19mm socket to fit them. Using the wrong size socket can strip the lug nut heads, making it extremely difficult to remove them and potentially damaging your wheels.
