What size are the wheel nuts on a Ford Edge?
The typical wheel lug nuts on most Ford Edge models use a 5-bolt pattern (5x114.3 mm) with M14 x 1.5 threads and a 60-degree conical seat, usually requiring a 21 mm socket. Variations can occur by year, trim, or aftermarket wheels, so it’s important to verify your specific vehicle.
Ford Edge wheel setups are generally consistent across generations, but certain wheels—especially dealer-installed or aftermarket options—may use locking nuts or alternate seat types. This article explains the common specs and how to confirm the exact size for your car.
Typical specs you can count on
These are the common specifications you’re likely to encounter on a Ford Edge with factory wheels. Use them as a baseline, but verify for your exact vehicle.
- Bolt pattern: 5x114.3 mm (five lugs on a 114.3 mm circle).
- Lug thread size: M14 x 1.5.
- Seat type: 60-degree conical (tapered) seat.
- Lug nut hex size: typically 21 mm socket; some wheels may use a different size (e.g., 13/16 inch or 19 mm) for aftermarket or non-standard setups.
In practice, most factory Edge wheels adhere to these specs. If you’re dealing with aftermarket wheels or a special trim, there may be variations.
Note on locking lug nuts and aftermarket wheels
Locking lug nuts require a special key to remove, and some aftermarket wheels may use different seat shapes or thread pitches. If you encounter resistance or an unusual nut size, check for a locking set or refer to the wheel’s documentation.
How to confirm the exact size for your vehicle
To ensure you have the correct lug nuts for your Edge, perform these checks and consult official sources as needed.
- Check the door jamb placard (Tire and Loading Information label) for lug nut specifications or confirmation of a five-lug pattern.
- Inspect the wheel hub area; sometimes the bolt pattern is stamped near the studs.
- Measure the lug nut thread pitch on an existing nut to confirm M14 x 1.5 (use a thread pitch gauge if available).
- Consult the owner’s manual or Ford’s official parts catalog for your exact year and trim; the dealer can confirm the correct lug nut size, hex size, and torque.
When reinstalling, always use the recommended torque for your specific setup. For most passenger Edges, the lug nut torque is around the typical range of 100–110 ft-lb, but verify against your manual or with a Ford service bulletin for your exact model.
What to do if you need to replace a lug nut
Use a nut with the same size and thread pitch as the originals. Do not reuse damaged nuts or studs. If you have locking lug nuts, use the included key to remove them and replace with the appropriate standard nuts as needed.
Summary: The Ford Edge commonly uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with M14 x 1.5 lug threads and a 60-degree conical seat, typically requiring a 21 mm socket. However, differences by year, trim, and aftermarket wheels can occur, so always verify on the vehicle placard or through the manufacturer to ensure you have the correct lug nut size and torque.
