Default Tell me what rims these are


I recently bought my mustang and got a flat tire and need to fix it myself. These are the rim I have on it aftermarket but they came with the car. I cant find a lug to fit this thing so I cant fix my tire. Its a real pain in the butt. Any help would be appreciated

You are going to need a deep socket... you may need a 12 point so it is thin enough. But a regular chrome 3/4" socket and 1/2" breaker bar should work.

The lugs come with the socket for them, since it's aftermarket, and a uni-lug.
Some of those lugs will only come off with the socket made for them. People
usually leave the tool in the glove box, or center console, or check the trunk.
A 6 nor 12 point will work with those, if I am seeing it correctly. You're on an
angle, not looking dead on, so can't tell for sure. They're called tuner lugs,
and as I said, they come with their own socket.

So, you will need a deep-well socket for them.

Here is an example:


See, they have a socket that comes with them. Those are spline tuner lugs. You can get spline sockets
on eBay.

Or, you will be hammering a socket on to them to get them off.

I did not see the lug nut shape. Since the question was about the rims, I assumed the issue was close clearance around the lug nuts. Glad 08'MustangDude looked a little closer and actually saw your issue.
