However, if you have a new 19mm nut without cap, and a 3/4 socket is put on that nut, the socket will wiggle.
I think a 3/4 socket will round new lug nuts over time especilly the C5 and C6 lug nuts with the aluminim beauty caps on.
Also use a 6 sided socket not a 12 sided socket for snug fit.
I use ARP studs and ARP lug nuts with an impect wrentch as my wheels are on and off all the time.

Coincidence... I ordered a set of these Lug Nut Impact Sockets just yesterday. A better deal and colors too:

Curious, are you happy with these? I just got the same Harbor Freight set and the contact point between the nut and socket is not lined at all. The lining is external with just an insert. I need 13/16 for my lugs, but would prefer a set of truly lined lug sockets.
