What size lug nuts are on a Ford Maverick?
The standard Ford Maverick uses M14 x 1.5 lug nuts with a 60-degree conical seat, on a 5-lug, 114.3 mm (5x114.3) bolt pattern, and you’ll typically use a 21 mm wrench or socket to install or remove them.
Key lug nut specifications
The following details cover the common configuration for Mavericks equipped with the stock wheels. If your Maverick uses aftermarket wheels, verify compatibility with the wheel manufacturer.
Bolt pattern and thread size
The Maverick rides on a 5-lug pattern with a bolt circle of 114.3 mm (5x114.3), and the lug nut thread size is M14 x 1.5. The seat type is a 60-degree conical seat, which is the typical Ford OEM configuration for this vehicle.
- Bolt pattern: 5x114.3 mm (5x4.5 in)
- Thread size: M14 × 1.5
- Seat type: 60-degree conical (mushroom) seat
These specifications reflect the factory wheels commonly found on Maverick models. Variations can occur with aftermarket wheels or different trim packages.
Lug nut size and tool requirements
For removal and installation, use a 21 mm lug wrench/socket to fit the lug nuts. The standard lug nut hex size on Mavericks is 21 mm. Always confirm torque recommendations from the owner’s manual or Ford service documentation when tightening.
- Hex size: 21 mm
- Number of lugs per wheel: 5
- Notes: Torque specifications vary by wheel and trim; verify with official manuals
Using the correct tool and nut type helps prevent damage to wheels, studs, or the seats. If your wheels are aftermarket or designed for a different seat style, you may encounter different nut sizes or seat types.
Additional considerations for aftermarket wheels
If you replace the stock wheels, confirm that the lug nuts match the wheel’s seat type and thread pitch. Some aftermarket wheels use different seat geometries (such as ball seats or different conical angles) or varying lug patterns. Always cross-check with the wheel manufacturer and, if in doubt, consult a qualified technician or your dealer.
Installing or removing lug nuts with the wrong specifications can lead to wheel damage or unsafe driving conditions. When in doubt, rely on the factory specifications printed on the vehicle’s door placard or in the owner’s manual, and use OEM or wheel-manufacturer-approved hardware.
Summary
For most Ford Mavericks, the lug nuts are M14 x 1.5 with a 60-degree conical seat, fitting a 5x114.3 mm bolt pattern and requiring a 21 mm tool. If you are using aftermarket wheels, verify the seat type, thread pitch, and bolt pattern with the wheel manufacturer or a dealer to ensure proper fitment and safety.
