Removing custom wheel help!!!
Hoping somone can help, I bought a F150, 2000, it had 17 inch Momo rims and pirelli scorpion tires 60r 17 on it when I bought it,
I took it into the ford dealership to have the tires removed, they couldn't get it off, there is barely enough clearance between the lug nut and wheel rim, it is recessed, I am trying to find a place where I can get thin wall sockets, A 19mm will go into the wheel rim, but not over the socket, does anyone know where I can get a 20mm thin wall? or a solution to this prob??

Call a local tire shop and see if they'll tell you where they buy their tools. Unless you have a well stocked tool shop in your area you may end up having to order one.
BTW, have you tried a regular (non-impact) 12 point chrome socket? I had the same issue on my 98' Cobra. Impact sockets are too big to fit in the wheel but the chromies fit OK.
