Again, I swear weird things just happen to me.
Was planning to do a quick front pad/rotor swap on a neighbor's 08 Elantra tonight. It has a set of 18" aftermarket, chrome chinesium wheels. The lug nuts are all recessed inside a center hub area.
Of course, none of my impact sockets fit. I was able to get the RF tire's lug nuts off using a 3/8" drive ratchet and a 19mm chrome socket.
On the LF, a 13/16" took off one of the lug nuts perfectly. For the other 4, it is too darn small.
I'm guessing that it's a 21mm (marginally larger than a 13/16"), but the Chinese lug nuts just have poor quality control. I suppose that with my luck it may be a 7/8", but I doubt it.
I plan to go to horror freight, first thing in the morning to get this. Will this work? My only concern is that this set does not have a 22mm.
