The caps don't come off. Lugs are 1-1/16 or 27mm, but if the caps are too loose you might need 1-1/8.

 

Should i go ahead and change the lug nuts out if the caps are loose?

Those nuts are notorious for the dress caps to get damged and then the nuts are really a problem to remove. I bought 20 of the solid ones that came on the earlier RR Classic. It is the same size and is just a solid nut.

Another good thing to have is one of the 4 way lug wrenches available at most auto parts stores. 1 1/16 inch. The four way gives excellent leverage over most other arrangements. I mounted mine to the side wall of the rear cargo area on clips.

Take your 6-point 1/2" drive socket, lube the lug nut with PB Blaster or the like, line up the socket and hammer it on, loosen the lug nut, remove socket, remove lug nut.
Next.
Total time is about 2 hours for all four wheels, you will be re-forming the tin caps to the lug nuts with the socket.
Some have removed the caps but then they look like ***.

 

Hey Spike @ 10$ a pop for lug nuts I think I will just replace with solid. Not really going for the 100% authentic approach here, really need functional. Besides that, I can find other places I want to drop 200$ on my toy besides that.

 

The caps can be removed pretty easily.
Solid lug nuts are the best but they're hard to find.
I have a set of 10 lug nuts with the SS caps already removed, $15 shipped.

I personally don't think the four-way lug wrench is a good option. I prefer a 6pt 27mm socket, breaker bar, and I keep a 3' length of 1.5" galvanized pipe in the back of my truck as a cheater bar. One time it took a guy standing on the end of that cheater bar to break his lug nuts loose. I don't think he would have got them with a four-way.

 

is there a downside to to removing the caps?

 

paul grant is selling a set right now for $60.

no way you should roll with caps...either cut them as per the sticky or buy a set of solids.

 

I prefer a deep socket and a flex head ratchet. The ratchet lets you break the lug nut loose then you can flip the handle perpendicular to the wheel and spin the lug nut right off. This has been my setup for over 30 years.
