my car came with aftermarket wheels mounted on them but i also have the stock rims so i'd like to put those on. i didn't get the stock wheels lugs with the car so can anyone tell me what size to get?
also, anyone know a good brand for wheel locks ?

thanks
kris

 

I don't know if mine are stock (pretty sure they are) because the still fit the stock wheels. The lugs I got are 21mm. Don't know about the wheel locks.

 

i believe they are 12x1.25 like all other jap. cars except nissan

 

TRY 12m x 1.50

 

Can someone tell me the socket size for this. I just have a average socket set and the largest won't work...and of course, the larger socket I bought for my other ride that goes on my breaker bar isnt large enough either

I wanted to take the wheels off today to paint them and those lugs are on tighter than a ************. So I need to use my breaker bar instead of the tiny stock lug wrench. I gotta go buy a socket.

 

19mm or 21mm -- I think the stock lug nuts are 21mm, but aftermarket ones could be another size.

The car usually comes with a wrench. On the FD, it is in a styrofoam tool holder thing under one of the removable panels along the driver's side of the hatch area. But it is sort of short and you can't really be sure of the torque, so it isn't that useful for anything but an emergency roadside installation of the spare.

You should get a 1/2" drive torque wrench that reads to 75-85 ft-lbs or more so that you can torque the lugs properly. A 3" or 6" 1/2" drive extension is also useful for clearance, and of course you need a 1/2" drive socket that fits your lug nuts. The cheaper bar-style ones will work, but it is nice to have a torque wrench that clicks for convenience. Sears sells everything you need, but it will cost $50-100 total. It is worth having, though, if you will be doing this periodically. Be sure to re-torque the lug nuts after a few miles when you swap wheels.
