    Lug Nut Question

    Just got some rims from one of my cousins and just wanted to know would the stock lug nuts for the 95 galant es fit the 17 inch aftermarket rims? I think it would fit but what do you guys think?

    Most of the time they don't work. Just get some tuner lug nuts at your local parts store. Your size is M12-1.5. A full set will usually run you about $30.

    Dont use the stock wrench, just get a stocket that fits and a breaker bar, works much better for me.

    +1 on that. and you can use that same socket on the torque wrench to torque those lug nuts.

    ive got a cross style wrench and it works every time for me, you just have to get the right size...but what i was refering to is that OEM lug nuts are usually bigger than aftermarket ones, so you need a thinner wall lug wrench to get into the hole to turn them in.
    Light em up.
