BTW - use a 6 point. Because of torque.

I found an article from a guy that contacted Forrest River. He said use a 21 mm. Well the was wrong. I bought a 21 mm and it was too big. Found a 19 mm and it fit perfect.

Rawest50, I'm gonna guess you tried it, but depending on the wheel design, some need a thin walled socket. The other sockets will fit, but are too snug in the rim to turn the lug nut. Just FWIW.

Yes I tried it. The spare tire mount on the back is 20 mm. Removed it not issues. Then I went to the tire lug not and it was loose. I had a 19 but short depth. Bought the 19 mm long socket and fit perfect. All I will say is I am glad this experience happened in my driveway. Now I know what tools I need to have in my box.
