Lug Nut Socket size?

Looks like none of the sockets I have fit my 2015 RDX.

Could it be 18mm ?

I just installed the Gorilla Lock (20 piece) set on my '16. Used 3/4" socket. 94 lb-ft torque

Interesting. I do have a 19mm socket but thought it was a bit loose. I'm glad I asked...
Thanks.

19mm (or 3/4") is a little loose but 18mm doesn't fit so it has to be one or the other. There is only .002" difference between 19mm & 3/4" so either one will work.

wb2ee - I'm curious about the torque you used. The owners manual specifies 80 lbf∙ft.

Damn 80lbs isn't much. All my other Acuras and Hondas have been 92-94lbs/ft. Haven't swapped lugs or wheels yet though to need to know the torque spec. Good to know. Is the thread pitch 12x1.5? Been in the 14x1.5 on the TL and lug options are limited.
