Re: FoMoCo and Ford script stamped 16 x 4.5 wheels.
Hi; when you install those wheels, you may notice the 'outie' has less threads showing, of the studs. One V8 member has noticed different appearing lug nuts also. He has some lug nuts with a shoulder below the taper, and those 'shouldered' nuts appear to bottom out when used with the "innies wheels. That is the ' shouldered' nuts can leave the 'innie' wheels loose! This wheel change may have to do with the adoption of common radials, and newer wheels?
Good topic Newc
