The problem isnāt the size socket I use, I use the correct size. The problem is what shape they are in ābeforeā I do my work. If I had a nickel for every caped lugnut that was trashed or the cap just missing Iād be able to buy a combo meal at In-In-Out.I'm also pretty sure the nuts are supposed to be metric. Probably part of the reason why @460Fred has had some issues is using the 7/8" instead. The socket is loose because the 7/8 is more than a mm too large.
However I do agree with Fred that the factory lugs are junky. I just bought new lugs for my GT because I noticed that several of the existing lugs are deformed and it's getting difficult to get the metric socket onto them. Also, I think a silver lug on a black wheel looks goofy.
