Thanks for the info everyone. First I need to pick up a socket for my impact wrench. Thing is I need to find a 7/8 with a small OD because there’s not much space between the nut and the counterbore in the wheel. I hope this works...

When I took the wheels off my new 268bh, I took them to Costco for Ford TPMS sensors, balance and nitrogen refill. Bought new lug nuts there.

Are you sure your lug nuts take a 7/8" socket?2021 Solitude 310GK: Linen/DP windows/gen prep/slide toppers/king bed/EOH disc brakes/Cooper-H tires

As others have said, if you buy a new socket, make sure it is a 6 point (not 12 pt). Most impact sockets are 6 pt.

I bought this one because it was advertised with a 1.1" OD which would have worked, but when it arrived, the OD was actually closer to 1.25 so it wouldn't fit:

Hi Gary
Add me to this list. 3 of the caps came off during tire removal.
Replaced with solid lugnuts. Not a cheap replacement, about $110.00.
If the caps came off while changing tires in an emergency beside an expressway
it could be a problem I do not want to deal with.

Are you talking about the flimsy caps on the lug nuts or the cosmetic hub cover? The caps don't come off the lug nuts - just replace the lug nuts with some decent chrome one like @Always Learning suggests. The cosmetic hub cover comes off when you remove the wheel (there's a flange behind the wheel holding it in).
