They do exist. Here's an example:

You should be able to find the size you want on either Ebay or Amazon.

 

Thanks Red_KittyCat

Anyone know our lug nut size off hand?

 

22mm

 

Forgot to mentioned that these are made by Titan Tools.

 

Just go there: Lug Nuts

You'll find everything you need

 

My dealer mechanic said Snap On if I want to pay top dollar. Which I do not.

 

Snap On good for life but, to play with big boy toys, you need to pay

Looks like a must buy for a Hellcat owner that does some work at home garage.

Very good post. Ty

 

Amazon.com: whell lug sockets

 

I picked up a couple of these sockets... They definitely do the job... and protect the finish on the wheels.

I sure wish the tire shops around here would use these things... planning to take the wheels off myself and the bring them to the tire shop with my truck, when it is time for new rubber.

 

Do like I do, carry the socket with you and have the shop use it. I even asked to not use air tools and they obliged by using a smaller electric version - followed by the use of a torque wrench.

Now, when I go and swap my wheels, they don't even need to be reminded.

 

Just did the gorilla lugs and non scratch socket from Speedlogix. Car should have come this way from the factory.

I didn't know about these sockets. Very cool idea. Just another example of why I love this forum. Thank you OP and all.

Great idea. I am fortunate to be best friends with the Master Mechanic at the local dealer. I asked him about this and he told me they are professionals and gave me the look that of course he uses a non marring socket.

But I'll bet not every dealer does.

 

Buy a set of them, they last a lifetime.

 

For the Canadians: we can get these from Canadian Tire

 

Really... never thought of checking.

 

22mm fits better...less chance of rounding edges...

 

Have any of you guys tried a 7/8 and a 22mm side by side on your lug nuts? Maybe something is wrong with mine, but I can't see or feel any difference. Both seem to have the same amount of play, which isn't much.

That being said, I assume the "M" on each lug nut is an indicator for metric (correct me if I'm wrong please), so I'll order a 22mm, but I just don't see any real difference between the two sizes.

 

Harbor Freight, set of 7 metric & SAE 1/2" drive, think I paid about $30 bucks. had them about 6 years.

 

Also torque limiting bars for using impact wrench to spin them on with....great combo.

That's because 7/8 is 22.23mm which is really close to 22mm.
7/8 should usually work unless you have very cheaply made nuts that are undersize.

Pretty much everything on a car these days is metric. (Automotive standard)
There are a few things like the wheels that are still in inch but it's not many.
That's actually very interesting as the wheels are in inch but the tires are metric...
That being said the nuts clearly are 22mm.

Yep, I got a complete Mastercraft set and wasn't even that expensive I think.

 

NAPA has them in a bunch of different sizes.

I saw some at Harbor Freight and got excited, but the set only went up to 21mm. They didn't have any singles sitting around, just the kit.
