special wrench for rims?

[dyoungen]

My daughter-in-law has a 1995 Avalon. Tonight they went to change a flat tire but found they needed a different wrench for the lug nuts. Any idea what or where they might find one? As far as I know the rims are the stock rims that came with the car originally if that helps.

You shouldn't need another wrench unless the lug nuts arent the factory originals. You can easily get another wrench at an autoparts store, or another set of lugs. Either way is fine. Just be sure that they match.

They use a standard 21mm, 6 or 12 point socket or equivalent. But if you have wheel locks, one nut on each wheel will require the key to go between the 21 mm socket and the nut.

you mean 21mm not 20mm

I corrected the error so it doesn't throw anyone off.
