The OEM lugnuts is 1/2-20 and take a 3/4" socket.They make many aftermarket ones that either take a 3/4",13/16",or 7/8" socket.

Just replace them with some decent lug nuts, like these:

These are the ones you would need if you wanted them to fit the tire iron that comes with the liberty...

Which is a darn good price... I paid $6 for 3 from advance auto, and the dealer wanted $7/ea :shock:

Thanks for the link - it's had to find replacement lugs with 3/4" at autoparts stores (most are 13/16). Can't find them in packs of 5 anywhere :x Don't most vehicles (non full size truck) come with 5 lugs per wheel?

The reason why most lugs come in a 4-pack is they are counting on you to buy those pricey,and not needed,wheel locks.

I've never used a factory tire iron from the fact they are prone to rounding off the lugnuts,and that the OEM jack that came with my KJ can no longer even come close to lifting my KJ enough to get a wheel in the air.
