Looking for a thinwall socket to buy or use to get my wheel nuts off. I think its a 21mm, or 19mm. For an SW20 MR2. If anyone has one, please let me know.

I know I can get them from stores, just seeing if anyone on the board has one. And I am not too sure on the size, and cant really measure it will the bolt still in.
Anyone know how 'thin' they actually are? I just checked and there is about 1mm between one corner of the bolt and the rim.

if you have a spare socket kicking around, you can grind the walls of the socket thinner. It might work for your purpose, but the socket owuldnt be much good for anything that will would put alot of force on it...

I bought a thin-walled impact socket from Home Depot. It's branded Husky and is a 17 mm 6-point deep socket.
