The lug nut socket size for a 2016 Kia Sorento is 19 mm. It's important to be cautious when tightening or loosening lug nuts on a car to avoid damaging them. Over-tightening could result in snapping or stripping the nuts, especially if they are old or rusted. If a nut gets stripped, it will just spin in the socket and become difficult to remove. In this case, a mechanical press may be needed to push it out, but that could potentially harm the wheel. If a bolt snaps, the rotor on the wheel will need to be removed to unthread it from the back. Both scenarios can be easily prevented by taking care during the process.
