Question Lug Nut Size?

My AV has the six stud wheels. My garage put the lugs on so tight that I Couldn't get them off with my wheel wrench. I have an impact but not the right size metric socket. Does anyone know if 21 or 22 mm sounds right or other. Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Lug Nut Size?

22 fits some.
But best to measure the nut for right size.
And select fit sockets to be sure for the right socket.
Good luck

Re: Lug Nut Size?

i've checked my brother's 2004 model

it's 21 mm & you're supposed to torque them down to 140 ft.lbs.

most newer vehicles are in metric sizes

best to get a 1/2" torque wrench and the proper socket to do the final tightening

and one of these would help speed up the process if you don't like air impact guns:



as a matter of fact, reading the measurements on the X wrench:

it's 17mm, 19mm, 21mm, 23mm

you may be thinking it's a 22 mm but those black plastic covers are just fo decoration, yo
