Stupid question about lugnuts
Are they 19mm, or 3/4"? The 19mm socket seems to fit tighter, though it also tends to get stuck on the lugnut when tightening them...

Re: Stupid question about lugnuts
19mm always works right for me, not too tight at all. I'm pretty sure 19mm is what's called for.

Re: Stupid question about lugnuts
19mm = .7481"
So either should be fine. I've had no ill effects from using 3/4" long term, since I don't have a 6 point deep 19mm . Best, - Jeff

Re: Stupid question about lugnuts
They're metric = 19 mm.
