Q: What vehicles commonly use 21mm and 21.5mm lug nuts? A: These metric sizes are frequently found on Toyota, Honda, Lexus, Acura, and other Japanese import vehicles. Some European models also use these dimensions. The problem occurs because these nuts look nearly identical, making it easy to grab the wrong socket.
