You have the same size (at least thread specs) as the s-types, and those guys have found a few excellent replacements. You need to check your shaft length and diameter, make sure you get the right dimensions, but if you can show they're identical to the s-type's, those members have done all the legwork for you already.

Drop over there and search for 'lug nuts'. Gluck!

Are you replacing them on stock wheels? I had factory sleeved lugs on my factory BBS wheels, and aftermarket lugs would not have worked. With aftermarket wheels, you need aftermarket lugs.

I don't get it...why do you think the stock lug nuts would leave you stranded?

When I bought our Jag, there was a missing lug nut. I went to an O'Reilly's to order one, and in spite of numerous phone calls, they claimed to have nothing that met the specs.

I would be quite wary of this one - unless they obtained a new supplier and new stock, it just might not fit.

I've had to replace two lug nuts and the corresponding wheel studs on my X-type thus far as they seized for no apparent reason (I always use a torque wrench). I replaced then with these from NAPA...

Wheel stud P/N BK6414225 $1.83 each
Wheel nut P/N BK6414244 $2.51 each

These parts are listed for a 2002 Lincoln LS. The studs are a tiny bit longer than stock, but otherwise identical. The lug nuts also fit perfectly, but are slightly smaller in diameter at the top of the hood (i.e., the top of the decorative stainless steel cover, which is purely cosmetic). If you want all five lug nuts on a wheel to match perfectly, just replace them all!

87vertgt it's worth the dough to get a one piece chrome nut (no more tin cap) like these http://cgi.ebay.ca/20-JAGUAR-LUG-NUT...item5ad7486c81 as long as that's what your current one with the washer looks like.

The stock lug nuts are a pain in the *ss if the SS skin happens to spin on the nut.....been there. They are a mag type nut, but Jag had to make things difficult by using a unique shaft length and diameter.....hard to find, but yeah, Ebay is your best bet. I got a set of solid chromes for $75.

87, yes...no need to change the studs at all.

Now, go get'em. (well call first, they may not have them in stock)

Sound advice there - I have Dorman's on both the STR & X-Type having paid $88 for a set of 20. They are fine however, the plating appears to be not that durable. Just the opinion of someone using them for around 5 months now.
