They could be anywhere from a 21 to 21.5 to 22 mm depending on how much they have cracked and swelled. One stripped so I had to pound a socket on it. About a half dozen got stuck in the socket and needed to be pounded out. Not mine but they were like this. Junk. They're all like that. GM, Ford, Ram, etc. I replaced mine and my sons with Costco nuts. Cheap at something like 43-50 cents a piece and they're one piece, not the 2 piece garbage that comes from the factory. McGard's are also good/tough but they are spendy. Edited October 28, 2019 by irv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About $100 bucks but they are nice. They are what should have come from the factory. The cheaper ones I looked at didn't have much steel in them. Not sure I'd trust the 50 cent lug nuts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I researched and read up on the Costco nuts and surprisingly they are a decent lug nut. No problems yet with my truck or son's car, which I can't say that about the stockers that came with each vehicle. If I were doing some heavy hauling and owned a 3/4 or 1 ton, I'd likely choose Mcgards or Gorillas like you but then again, maybe these are also fine for that?

Mcguards look nice but they want over $150 a set. Your Costco ones are probably fine. I just didn't want wing ding lug nuts made of pot metal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
