Question about torque wrench and stock lugs

Same size. Both 21mm. Use a 6 inch long 1/2" extension to give yourself enough room to move and to prevent the head of the torque wrench hitting the wheel.

also, since the stock lugs are kind of tapered hex, you'll notice that after a lot of use, they'll start to strip. most 21mm sockets wont fit all the way over the stock lugs, they just fit most of the way down. its pretty lame, but you can replace them with better ones.
