I believe they are 14x2. I am not sure on the lug nuts but I only use Gorilla kits. They seem to work the best for us.

Thanks.

I searched 14mm x 2.0 and confirmed that those are correct.

Now, where's a good place to buy them cheap?

I don't feel like creating a new thread but does anyone know where you can buy a thin wall socket for lug nuts?

No, but for an old vehicle of mine I had a deepwell impact socket turned down on a lathe. A local machine shop did it for $10.

I went to a local auto parts store, but not a chain store. Had to go to Winners Circle which is a higher end shop. They were not cheap but they look good.

I'm actually using that currently but my impact is 1/2" so I've got to have two sockets on there for it to work.
