Well I got some nice cobra r rims on my car and I would like to keep it that way so I want to get a lug lock kit. My only question is what thread size do I have?... I have the ranger rear axels / sn95 front spindle (5 lug swap) setup. When I look at most lock kits I am seeing 12mm x 1.50 RH, 1/ 2 in. x 20 RH, and 12mm x 1.25 RH threads. Which would I need? Thanks

Autozone should be able to match up a locker with your existing non-locker. they have a bunch of different studs so they figure out what you have for thread size and pitch and give you the corresponding locking lug kit.

I edited because I posted the correct thread for a stock 4 lug Mustang... And didn't read his post saying he wasn't using the stock stuff.

just make sure you can thread them on by hand first just cause you can get 2 threads or so doesnt mean they are right.....plus IMO locking lugs are ok to slow down would-be thieves.......but they are easy to get off.....all i would need is my 1/2" impact and my Matco bolt-out's.......easy as that......so just a waste IMO.

Just tie a nuclear trigger switch to one lug on each of your wheels. hehe

Seriously though, the Cobra Rs are common enough that a locking lug might accomplish what you're looking for. Bad guys may just move on to a car without them for ease of theft. Most criminals aren't over achievers or work-a-holics in the first place.

There isn't just a stock thread? I didn't swap any of the studs with any aftermarket ones. My nuts that came off my 4 lug setup with stock gt rims are on the cobra r's (minus one per wheel) right now and they seemed to fit fine but they definally go in way to far if I tighen them. Im hopeing locks are a bit longer and won't have issues with tucking to far into the hole.

Ford racing lug nuts are also known as McGard Wheel Lugs... which again come in those 3 different sizes. 12mmx1.25, 12mmx1.5, 1/2in x 20. Anyone know?

1/2"-20 has been the stock size for many, many years.
