How to mount tires?

HoustonGuy · 07-06-2010, 09:59 PM

Hey, is the mounting tool provided for cars with runflats? I know the coupes don't have spares, so it wouldn't make sense to include a jack, but I just got new rims and need to know how to unmount the stock tires, however, I can't find the opening tool to remove the lug nut on the tires.

Any help would be great...I was thinking of going to walmart and picking up a kit just to dismount unless there is one specifically for our cars...

Found it, 17mm.

Correct, 17mm socket needed for removal of the lugs.
