What size to I need?

I've got a Rockwood Sig ultra lite 8982 WS and I'm not sure what size or kind of socket to use on the lug nuts. Nothing I have fits. Is there a specific way to know the torque number when reinstalling? Picture attached. Thanks for the help.

I have a 8280 and the lug nut size is 3/4 deep well socket .in the owners manual there is a section on how to torque the nuts and end up at 85 to95 ft/lbs .

You will need a thin walled socket. I bought a 19mm Craftsman.

I have a Windjammer, but looking at the pictures you have the same wheels as I do. I'm able to use a 3/4" impact socket on mine.

I have an 8289ws also and the 19mm works much better with the lug nuts. Using a 3/4 I ended up denting a few of the lugs when I swapped the tires out.

Is it possible to get some idea of what is used to remove and replace lug nuts? I've been shopping impact wrenches but the real good 1/2 inch lithium ion ones start at $250 or so and go up from there. I know the corded ones are cheaper, but I don't have any type of plug to use on the road. Any suggestions?

18 Volt 1/2 in. Cordless Variable Speed Impact Wrench
Will generate approx 100flbs. Had enough battery to take all four off and reinstall. Got mine much cheaper by watching sales

90 ft pounds sounds right. Any tire shop can torque them.
