i use the 4 way to loosen and tighten, but i need the socket for my torque wrench.

17mm or 19 mm, i cant remember which

heard 19mm on early my wrx might be the same then.

The 02 cars use a 19mm.

The 02 cars use a 19mm.

The 11's are as well.

[teflon_jones]

It's been 19mm for years on most cars whether Japanese or European or American.

[devilfluff]

Actually, most Euros use 17mm and many American cars use 21mm

[teflon_jones]

That's funny because all of my Japanese and European cars have had 19mm. Maybe I've been buying the exceptions?

[devilfluff]

There are lots of cars with 19mm, that is certainly true.

VW, and I believe BMW & Volvo, use 17mm lug bolts. My wife's Matrix has 21mm lug nuts.
