Hi,
I am total newbie, so please dont judge.
I had search but dit not find the size of the lug nut.
I think it' metric but what the exact size ?

I ask because I want to put my winter tire on (already on rims)
and would like to not use the wrench provided in the trunk for emegency spare tire.


Thank for your help.

I have the correct size socket on a break over bar so I can find it easily and not have to remember the size... I have to have all of my tools and stuff out in the open or I go crazy looking for them, so don't feel bad about having to ask what size socket fits what fastener. What is bad is that the more cars you own over the years the more confusing it gets trying to pick up the right size tools for the jobs you are doing..

Good practice

Also good to have a 1/2 " drive socket handle for your lug nuts for better leverage and 1/2" drive torque wrench. A deep socket designated for your lug nuts would complete the package.
