Does anyone have this info? I am getting some replacement lug nuts to replace my Work lugs that got stripped, I know the Work lugs are compatible with the Lexus OEM hex wrench, and I would like to keep it that way. Broke a key before and I would not like to do it again.

 

not sure what you are asking.. but i think its 21mm

 

Yeah I think that is what it is, I like aftermarket lug nuts that are suitable with the OEM hex wrench that comes with the car to help you put on the spare tire.

Thanks

 

I'll double check when I get home, but I'm 95% sure 21mm is right. The problem I have is that the OEM hex wrench is too thick so I have to carry a torque wrench and the socket around to be able to change my wheels. I wish there was a more elegant solution...

 

Yeah I know what you mean, the wrench barely fits into the lug hole on my rim, thankfully no scratches so far. Thanks for checking for me!

I hate the lug nuts that comes with those ultra thin socket / keys to fit into skinny holes, they always end up breaking under the torque, so never again lol

 

21mm...........

 

21mm skinny (or thin walled, same thing) deep socket....preferably one with a plastic sleeve so it doesn't scratch the wheels....

 

Do you carry 5 oem lugs in the trunk to put on your spare too ???

A condom also works for that. (And it's a great excuse if the girl you're dating thinks you're being presumptuous when she finds a jimmy hat in your car - "Oh, it's just so I don't scratch my lugs!")

Damn, I didn't even think about that... Bah, maybe I'll just ride with no spare. Moar speed!

 

^^ Carry the tools you need for both lugs...

Thanks guys!

Yes in fact I do I have all 16 lugs and its 4 wheel locks in my trunk at all times.

 

^^ Wouldn't just 5 be enough for the spare??

Also, if your using a Tq Wrench, what do you have it set at??


Joe Z

 

^ When in storage, you're supposed to set the torque wrench to zero, right?

 

Not sure... I keep mine locked @ 80 ft. lbs

 

I just carry them all in one place because if I separate them, chances are they will never be found again

I don't have a tq wrench, I tq it by hand until its tight but still under the tq limit, then I take it the dealer and have them tq it at 76 lb
