Stock lug nut size and socket recommendation?

I should have a fancy new Precision Industries torque wrench delivered today, and I'm wondering what size the lug nuts for the OEM wheel are. Couldn't find for sure in a search, it looks like 21mm. I want to make sure my lugs are at 73ft-lb for a HPDE school.

And do I need a deep socket or thin-walled or anything special for clearance?

21mm is correct. You don't need any special sockets, but probably an extension for clearance. If you want, though, Harbor Freight has some nice plastic sleeved anodized deep sockets with inserts. Search their site on "lug impact socket". I paid $15 for a set of three.

Get the 6-point 21 mm socket. Goodluck!
