Does anyone have a definitive answer as to the size of the D2 lugs?

I want to give my son a breaker bar with a socket for future emergencies, and have tried both sizes and seen each listed as the lug nut "size". I couldn't find anywhere in the RAVE where lug nut size is mentioned.

The 27mm goes on comfortably on my son's D2 lug nuts, while the 1 1/16" is tight but with a little persistence still goes on.

The lugs have seen their share of abuse I am guessing from impact wrenches, etc. and it feels like we are re-squaring them a bit every time we work a 1 1/16" socket on.

Thanks.

 

27mm but if some service centers use impact wrench, youll end up getting 28mm. lol

 

So true and then some of them booger them up so damn bad u need 3 sizes just to get all of them off

 

hahahaha! I know thats why I have 17mm and 18mm.

 

definitely 27mm deep socket. Make sure you show him how to firmly snug the socket against the bolt otherwise the bolt will get mashed up

 

1 1/16 works perfectly for my nuts

 

27mm, and some other info you don't need.

 

One of the generic 4-way "truck size" spinners will work, even though the largest socket on those is 1 1/16". What makes this really useful is that if the stainless cap gets damaged and comes off, the nut underneath is 1" and the 4-way also has that size on it so you're not completely stuck.

 

Decisions, decisions.

27mm looks like the "official" winner. Good anyway as I have 2-3 27mm sockets but only one 1 1/16" lying around

Anyone know why they put these caps on the lugs in the first place. Please don't say it was purely cosmetic.

 

If you've seen the nuts without the caps, you'll understand the cosmetic reason.
