Q: What size lug wrench?

AndreTheGeek · 10-29-2007, 07:36 PM

I just realized, since I have RFT's, there's no lug wrench in the trunk, and I will soon need to mount my winter tires.

Any special size I need, or is this kind of thing standard?

Thanks

17 mm

Make sure you get/use an extension socket, or you risk scratching your fenders.

I have a deep 17mm socket and have more than an inch of clearance from my fender with no extension.

To the OP, you can go to Sears and buy a mechanical torque wrench for around $20-30. I keep that in the trunk, along with other small tools and a flashlight.
