It would be cool if we could buy a nice chrome lug wrench or socket that fits our snazzy razor wheels. Anybody have a link? I know it's a pretty tight fit but don't have the specs.

I would be interested too. Subscribing.

I would be in for one of these.

A little off topic but I've heard the lug nuts on the Razors are smaller than the factory lug nuts. Does anybody know the size of socket or if a special socket is necessary? I am hoping to pick up my 40th soon and want to be able to check the lug nuts with a torque wrench before driving her home.

Thanks,
Gerry

I'm working on it. It's not easy to find out. I don't have a set of deep sockets to test out on my car and the nuts are not listed on the American Racing website.
When do you pick up your car?

Thanks Torch 40. We're flying out May 10th and picking the car up on Monday morning the 11th to drive back.
Please don't spend too much time researching on my behalf. I'll just pack the metric and SAE sockets of approximate size with the torque wrench. I believe the lug nuts are smaller than stock just not sure if they are metric or standard.

Thanks again

Gchaser1, my 40th came with an American

Gchaser1, my 40th came with an American Racing e-z lug wrench that has two lugs 3/4'' and19mm. I would check with Bud if they are still part of the package. Mine are still in the wrapper and never been used. They are thin wall socket design.

They are not part of the current package. I asked when I bought my 40th upgrade. Do you have a picture?

No problem. You don't need the whole set, 3/4" or 19mm is the way to go. They need to be thin wall sockets.
This socket came with a protective plastic sleeve but it was to thick to fit.

My 40th package also came with the AR lug wrench and 2 sockets. I just assumed everybody got that set up????

[07CSM0260]

Stock wheels have the 3/4" and the new Razors are 11/16". I did not receive any wrench with the upgrade, but I know when I go to the track with both cars, the SGT takes the 3/4 & 40th takes 11/16.

You should have gotten one with your package, I would look through everything, I forget where I found mine but I was happy to find it included, It might have been in the box with the 40th floor mats,ken

OK Thanks gt67. Hopefully they are still part of the package. Torch 40 - thanks for the idea. I've got some thin walled Craftsman's which will work just fine.

Ken - Good to see you post something. I can't say much given my post count. I know you know about the lug nuts because I remember you putting track tires on your 40th and dominating the track at CS 86. That was impressive.

I picked mine up in November and did not receive the kit either.

FYI, the factory locking lugnut fits the Razors just fine.

[gt67]

Maybe they only included the wrench and sockets on the fast color 40th's.

My mats were in the car when I picked it up. No box, no wrench.

I think you are spot on. My Performance White came with a wrench and sockets and everybody knows White is the fastest.

Not sure about your stock wheel set up, but the stock lugs on our 2007 GT500 are 13/16"
