I have seen in the Jeep and was bad. long time ago, had AAA replaced tire and he called another AAA tow truck. The 1st said, his cross wrench wont fit. Thinking they have all the tools fot that.

If they aren't messed up 27mm but if you have had a hack touch them in the past 1 1/16" might work better. I think I'm going to slowly replace mine one wheel at a time because almost all of mine are messed up and even the 1 1/16" doesn't fit well.

Just the thought of rounding one of these off really scares me.

Usually what happens is the stainless cover gets messed up but the steel lug nut is fine so worst case you can pull the cover off and still get the lug nut off, it will just be a smaller size socket.

True but grabbing a couple good ones here and there each trip to the junk yard is free.

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.

PS: Think BMW, VW, new type Rolls Royce, Bentley et al, they are all metric sizes and at one point BMW owned LR and indeed own Rolls Royce whilst VW own Bentley.
