Easy question. What is the lug nut size on a stock 88 coupe lace wheel. Sorry couldn't get search function to work. I don't have any of my tools here in Florida or it would be a no brainer. Thanks Rick

Why do you want to know that for an 88 coupe in particular?
To my knowledge, all Fieros share the same M12x1.5 lug nut size.

I was in town earlier and was wanting to get a socket to get the tires off to work on the brakes. Trying to save money and not buying another socket set. My cars an 88, didn't mean for it to sound specific. But I have found my answer. It's a 19 mm. Planning on getting a socket tomorrow and taking one of the plastic caps and the antithief socket with me. Thanks for the reply.

You can use a 3/4" socket...

19mm/¾" on ½" drive is best. ⅜" drive tools can break easy when have stuck lugs.
Likely need deep wall socket and/or short extension to clear the tire etc.
Either case, make sure you can't mash your hands when tool slipped or breaks.
Note:
Tighten to Torque Spec is only for Clean Dry threads.
Oil, anti seize, etc, cause way over torque done to table spec.
Plastic lug caps need a wrench but only to tighten won't easily fall off. Most use too much and breaks now or over time.
