Yes, just need 14mm by 1.5 thread. I have Spline drive Gorillas on both of mine, Only issue is they don't hold up in our part of the country with the salt we get in the winter, tend to get rusty. The regular Fusion's use a 12 by 1.5 thread.

Hi Skipe. Yes, the factory lug size/thread pitch etc., is 14 x 1.5. But "14 x 1.5" only tells us the size of the hole in the lugnut and the thread pitch.
However, getting the correct lugnut entails more than just the lug size/thread pitch (14 x 1.5).

There are different types of seats/bases on lug nuts, which fit different types of wheels (mainly the wheel/lugnut mating surface). Our lug nuts are referred to as "bulge acorn type" and/or "conical", with a 60° tapered cone base. So when buying lugnuts for the factory wheels, we must be sure we buy that type.

So yes, the 14 x 1.5 sizing stays the same for an aftermarket wheel. However, when properly buying lugnuts for an aftermarket wheel, we must be sure to ask the manufacturer what type of 14 x 1.5 lug nut seat/base they require to fit the their wheel/lugnut mating surface properly. Most will use a "bulge acorn type"/"conical", with a 60° tapered cone base. But not all. Therefore, it is better to ask before buying.

Hope this makes the information in my previous replies more understandable. Good luck.

You can tell I am not into wheels. I just can't stand these 19" stock wheels, and went to Discount Tire today to have them look at the one that was giving me vibrations and TPMS errors.

They took measurements on the tread depth and claimed it was 3/32" or below so they won't touch it unless I buy a new one. I took measurements as 5/32" but they claim the lowest value is what they use. I outright asked if he just measured on the shoulder of the tire. BS! He also claimed tire pressure was 40 psi, but my gauges all showed 43 psi. I'll never buy the tire replacement certificate ever. Only good for 3 years and if they are free to make claims about the tread being 3/32", what good is that certificate other than for the first year or so when a tire explodes? Even then they make you pay for a new certificate. I did the math and I'd have to have 3 tire replacements with their certificates to come out with saving money. Otherwise just roll the dice.

I may just get the 18" wheels for the thicker sidewall tires and store the 19s as "spares" for my dad's Fusion Sport.

So, did you buy 18' wheels? Also, do you still have the stock wheels? Because I need two of them ---

Do the stock 19' wheels have an offset of 55mm?

Give him time, he'll get on the interweb and find you the correct answer, but I think that's correct. Then again, what do I know.
