Really easy question: what size are Mazda lug nuts?
Nothing to do with racing or competition, but I know you guys, so hopefully someone will answer this before the thread gets moved. 
What size socket do I need to remove Mazda lug nuts? 17 mm?
Thanks,
Steve

Thanks guys! (Well, except for Dshiznit1489.) I'm helping a non-car savvy friend swap a set of wheels, and I wanted to know what size socket to get since I don't have a Mazda myself.

Well typical lug nut sizes (for cars) I've seen in my limited experience tend to either be 19mm/3/4" (very nearly the same size) or 21mm. Figure carry those two in most unknown cases and you'd be good.

Try screwing an OE lugnut onto a new stud and then try it with a quality aftermarket part. Try it both with and an without anti-seize. The difference that you can feel is quite stunning.
Why live with the problem when you can do away with it for $50 or so?

13/16 for my super original 2004. I use the spark plug deep socket with the rubber insert. Find what works best for you though, get creative, stay safe and protect the parts of your car aka don't be lazy and ruin it. Just like jacking the 8s up make a jig and do the happy dance that you did it right
