I have a torque wrench but now I need to get the socket for the wheel bolts. Anyone know the socket size?

Better carry a 19mm socket wrench in your toolkit!
The lug wrench in the factory-supplied toolkit it 17mm. <p>It would royally suck if you got a flat and had to change a tire with the wrong size wrench...<p>-PhilJ<br>17x8 Work Equip Anhelo with nice shiny 17mm lug bolts, McGuard locks, and some kick-*** PP S-02s...

It is more involved than that (more inside)
When you opt for the R-28 17X8.5" package on your car...you have to:<p>1) carry a 19mm lug wrench (since those wheels use different bolts)<br>2) carry (5) 17mm bolts (why? because your mini-spare can't use the Ronal<br> bolts...it has to have 17mm ones)<br>3) carry a 17mm lug wrench (for the spare)<p>So, what I did is carry a 17/19/21/23 lug wrench tool...that way I am covered.<br>BTW, Gary@Ronal gave it to me. Thanks again Gary.

Re: Thanks for the reminder
I had taken care of your points 1 and 3, but had forgotten all about 2 (keeping five 17mm bolts in the car). It was certainly much nicer to be reminded of my oversight surfing the web than on the roadside on some dark, cold, winter night. Thanks!<p>Alan (98.5 2.8qms)
