Fords carbon fiber wheel ??

Anyone know the hole size “diameter “ for the lugs to pass thru ?

I came up with .690 using calipers on the rear wheels. I wasn’t able to measure the holes on the front wheels due to how deep the mounting pad is. My car is a 2017 R.

Thanks. I measured a stock set off S550 wheels and got .6850. My Apex wheels are .622 or 15.8 mm. Reverse Logic lug guide tool won’t fit after market wheels unless you ream out the holes since the outside dia. is 16mm or .629921. Ford holes are really big.

It should be the same size on all S550 cars. The R studs are longer as the CF wheels have built in AL wheel spacers/hub mounts and need the extra length.

Rick I would have thought the carbon wheel had smaller lug holes. My Apex wheels have 15.8 mm “.6220472” holes compared to fords .6850.

What are you trying to accomplish? As long as the wheel studs are long enough all S550 wheels are interchangeable outside of clearing the brakes.

I have a set of reverse logic lug guide tool “thanks Byronj” and on the S550 they don’t work on Apex and other wheels because the outside dia. Is 16 mm. I am going to ream out the holes so they work.

It's possible they openings are slightly different. I would imagine the same as any stock Ford Mustang wheel. Have you tried a stock wheel?

No my Apex wheels are too small for the guides as well. Shame, the are nice tools.

Shame because mine work on '12 Boss OEM, Apex and Forgestar wheels and both OEM and the extended ARP studs. Different threads sized between the S197 and S550 though.

Have you talked to the folks at Reverse Logic?

I run the 14mm studs. Don’t know if reaming the wheel holes is a good or bad idea but it will be a lot of work doing 3 sets.

So my question is will any stock S550 wheels clear the guides?

I use wheel hangers on my Porsche but it doesn't have wheel studs.

@VoodooBoss , the reverse logic guide does work on stock wheels, not sure about the CF ones. Most aftermarket wheels have a tighter tolerance. Nice tools but sucks we can’t use them on aftermarket wheels. Unless you want to ream out the lug bore.

Apex holes are 15.8 mm and the lug tool is 16mm in diam. I did ask Fred at Reverse Logic and with the 14mm studs 16 mm is the smallest they could go.
