I would think they are metric - 12 x 1.25 would be my first guess.

I KNOW they ain't metric, even K's parts finder says that.....
BTW if you guess wrong, you're in the same boat as Ford of Canada was years ago....oopsy $$$$$ recall !

Would not be the first time I guessed wrong. I can't recall any oopsy $$$$$ recalls as a result.....
