Now I can get 100 ft/lbs on every lug! And the rotors are staying straight now....

I use either 6-point a 3/4" or a 19mm socket, either one seems to fit very snugly on the hex head of the lug nut.

Now if that doesn't beat all! Not only does he give WRONG information (3/4" SAE), he defends the wrong info, by saying HE has enough info to purchase the proper nuts.
"Scoob" didn't post the question, to find out whether anyone on here was capable of purchasing lug nuts for themselves. He wanted SPECS, so HE could go out and purchase them for himself. If he follows scorp508's advice, he is guaranteed to come home with nuts (3/4" SAE) that won't suit the purpose. It is one thing to make a silly mistake, but it's almost criminal to defend it, based on an invalid technicality.
While we're at it, can anyone tell me what, "a "3/4" SAE" socket" is? How is that different than a 3/4" USS socket?
UNBELIEVABLE!!!

3/4" = 19.05mm

Had it right all along. All C4s have M12X1.5 wheel studs and take the same thread size nuts to fit properly. The hex or wrench size is immaterial to the nut holding the wheel securely. 19 MM is the common hex size for THAT nut, although 3/4" English, will work.
