Socket size for lugnuts?
 

What size guys for the OEM lugnuts?

3/4", thin walled is best.

I have the 17" polished I have to use a deep 3/4 socket, my reg socket isn't very deep and will only catch the top part of the lug nut cap. 19 mm will also work, there are only a few thousandth diff in the two

Good point, deep is always better!

Thanks!!

I have the 16" aluminum rims and had to use a deep socket also. My standard socket wouldn't fit all the way.

I have a 4-way wrench I use to take the lugs off and to snug them up, then I use my torque wrench with the deep socket.

I'd assume it's meant to be 19mm, since the threads are M12.

My 19mm socket measures .755 inches and my 3/4 socket (both 6pts) measures .760 inches between flats. The lug nut thread size is M12 x 1.5 . I was only answering the question as to size of socket used.

In other words, either the 19mm or 3/4 will work just fine...correct?

Correct.
