Default Cross-threaded lug
Hey All....

Was just switching tires on my 2005 SC430 and I have a cross threaded lug. Does anyone know what size of tap and die to use to rethread this lug or should the lug just be replaced?? All opinions are appreciated.

Yeah, just get a new wheel stud. Don't risk it.

12x1.5 if you want to try and save the stud... the lug, just replace if you have any issue...

studs are very cheap and not too hard to do
