Flat tire

In 2014, the G37 Sedan became Infiniti Q50. G37 Coupe and Convertible became Infiniti Q60 under Infiniti's new naming structure - Here's the place to discuss the Q50 and Q60!

Had my "new" 2015 q60 for 2 weeks and get a flat tire. I get all the stuff out and prepare to take the wheel off. The lug wrench wouldn't go on the nut but a 1/8 inch, WTF! Had to call AAA. Found out there's a thin aluminum cover over the nut to make it look "purty". That was just enough to not allow the wrench to fit. Apparently, the wrench and nut are 21mm WITHOUT the cover! With the cover, it needs a 22mm socket! Fortunately, this all happened in my driveway instead of on the road somewhere.

Update! I don't know how to edit my original post so here's an update. I got a 21.5mm socket to try to get the lug nuts off. It fit very snugly and would have to be tapped on the nut. I decided against that. Bought a new set of Dorman 611-294 OEM lug nuts of the proper 21mm size WITHOUT the covering at, of all places, WALMART! Ordered and they were delivered in a few days. Cost $80. Just had a tire shop replace them for the exorbitant price of SIXTEEN BUCKS! ( ; - )) What auto place charges that little?!?!? I've dealt with them before and they're very reasonable and honest. Had several tires repaired there when they coulda said, "nope, can't be repaired, gotta get a new one."
