Socket Size for Lug Nuts? 1990 F250
I went to pull the wheels off and I don't have a socket to fit it! Anyone know, I'm about to head to Lowe's to get one.

I searched for quite a while before I posted, and I finally found a thread that mentions 1 1/16"

It was 1 1/16th, I've had to buy lots of bigger sockets since I started working on my f250

1 1/16 were the big ones older than 1991
In 1991 they switched to the easier to deal with 7/8 ones IIRR
The class of fit was too tight on the older ones, and it took 40 lbs of torque just to screw them down
