Lug nut size?

Does anyone know what size socket I need for my '01 lug nuts/studs?

19 mm...
and, torque to ~101 ft lbs, when re-installing.

PS: you may need to bang on, kick the tire to
get the wheel off the hub. Be sure car is secure...

:iagree: I just changed mine and there was a whole lot of kicking involved to get them off.

Something like this makes kicking a thing of the past.

My favorite tool is my wheel hanger, a tool that (along with my other toys) makes swapping my 19" rims with my snows very easy.

Is it the same size for the E70?
